Cops: Knife pulled in dispute at Havertown biz

An ongoing dispute between the boss at a Havertown concrete business and his employee ended with both men being arrested for assault this morning, police said.

Haverford Deputy Police Chief John Viola said the two men have had an ongoing dispute for some time, though the nature of that dispute was not immediately known. This morning, around 11:45 a.m., the verbal dispute became physical when one man pushed the other at the business on Lawrence Road near Springhouse Lane, police said.

One of the two men pulled out a knife and the employee suffered a "minor, minor laceration" to his forearm, Viola said. When police arrived, one of the men was sitting on a curb and the other was in the driveway, Viola said. Both were arrested for assault.

Police did not immediately release the names of the men or the name of the concrete business.
