Man Charged With Stabbing Co-worker With Pen

(Bridgeport, CT – Sept. 20, 2013) – A  55-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly stabbed a co-worker with a pen in a dispute over potato chips.

Officer Darryl Wilson responded to the Food Bazaar on Sylvan Avenue Thursday on a report of an assault. There, the victim stated that he was working in the receiving area when employees knocked over bags of chips. The victim stated he told a coworker, Sang Park, to have the employees who knocked over the chips pick them up.

Park, of Trumbull,  stated that he believed the victim was blaming him for the mishap and was tired of the victim telling him what to do, so he stabbed him in the neck with a pen.

The injury wasn’t serious and the victim  didn’t want to go to the hospital.

Park was charged with second-degree assault. Bond was set at $10,000.
