An Aurora resident has been indicted on felony charges for punching another man multiple times during an unprovoked attack while they were seated in a Kane County courtroom, authorities said Tuesday.

Norman is scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Oct. 10. If convicted, he faces a sentence of probation or between two and five years in prison.
