EAST WILLIAMSBURG — An employee of an East Williamsburg trucking facility slammed a vehicle door on his coworker multiple times after the two got into an argument, police said.

The victim, a 59-year-old man, said he and his colleague got into the work-related spat on Thursday, Oct. 8, around 11 p.m. at 1313 Grand St., which houses YRC Freight and Roadway Express Inc., before things turned violent, according to police.

The victim went to fix a light switch in the vehicle, which police described as tractor, near the driver's side door before the suspect began slamming the door into the victim's back and knees, police said.

The attacker called the victim a "punk-ass b---h" while using the door to strike the victim about eight times, causing him substantial pain, police said.

The business located at the address did not return a request for comment.

The suspect was described as 43 years old, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 190 pounds, police said.

No one has been arrested for the incident.
