According to the report, Castillo-Ramos, a resident of the 100 block of Shrewsbury Ave., struck the victim with a closed fist in the back of the head, recklessly causing bodily injury.

Castillo-Ramos was also charged with violating a court order by communicating with the victim in person while knowing he wasn't supposed to.
