TOTTENVILLE — A cable worker was arrested after he pushed a client into her door during an argument about the work he was doing inside her home, prosecutors said.

Orville Johnson, 45, who works for Metro Express, a subcontractor for Time Warner Cable, got into an argument with a 36-year-old woman over work to be done in her Ferguson Court home on May 19 at about 1:05 p.m., prosecutors said.

When the victim tried to check Johnson's ID, he allegedly grabbed her wrist, twisted her arm and threw her at a door, prosecutors said.

Johnson was charged with harassment at his arraignment, the Staten Island District Attorney's office said. He was released without bail and is due back in court on July 16, according to online court records.

His lawyer could not be reached for comment.
