A Fairfield County man was arrested for allegedly attacking his boss with a shovel.
Milian Lemus-Perez, 27, of Norwalk, was arrested around 4:45 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 17, when officers responded to Chestnut Hill Road for a fight, said Norwalk Police Lt. Jared Zwickler.
Officers arrived on the scene and found a man with significant facial injuries from being struck with a shovel, Zwickler said.
The victim told officers he was plowing driveways when Lemus-Perez, who he hired as a day laborer, demanded $60 for a house he shoveled, police said.
During the argument, Lemus-Perez struck the victim in the face with a shovel and left the scene, Zwickler said.
