You cannot get the IP address of a common person so easily. Even though if you manage to get the IP address of the person, you can't do anything with it. All you can do is find the basic geographical location and ISP detail of the IP address through any IP lookup sites like httIP-Details.com If you are really facing any problem with the specific IP, You can make a complain to the police.
