Public works employee assaults coworker with weapon

Public works employee assaults coworker with weapon One city employee was arrested and another sent to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries after an on-duty argument turned violent, a Columbus Police Department press release said. Two Columbus Public Works employees began arguing while working near Pickensville Road in South Columbus Wednesday afternoon, according to the release. The two worked on the same crew. Columbus Police Chief Fred Shelton said one employee “assaulted the other with a weapon,” but declined to say what weapon. Neither Public Works Director Casey Bush nor Mayor Robert Smith returned calls from The Dispatch asking for comment on the incident. However, the press release said Smith confirmed the two employees are on administrative leave. The city council will also meet today to discuss the matter, along with a police personnel matter.
