CHICAGO - An 8-month-old girl was returned safely after she was taken from a home in Irving Park on the Northwest Side Tuesday night, in what police called a domestic altercation.

A 17-year-old girl said she was forced to put the infant in a carseat after a person she knew kicked in the door of a home in the 3800 block of North Richmond Street around 9:35 p.m. and struck her in the head, Chicago police said.

The infant was returned to the home by a neighbor and appeared to be unharmed, police said. She was taken to Swedish Hospital as a precaution.
