Boardman men assaulted, property damaged by angry customer

BOARDMAN — Township police are investigating a case of felonious assault, criminal damaging and intimidation of a victim/witness after two men reported an incident with an angry customer at a Southern Boulevard business Wednesday.

The victims, who are father and son, told police they went outside the business to speak with an angry customer, who said he was upset about the victims owing him money. The suspect then reportedly got into his vehicle and drove into one of the victims, striking the victim’s knee.

He then got out of his vehicle, grabbed a plastic crate and threw it at one of the victim’s cars, which smashed the front windshield. The suspect reportedly told the victims if they called the police he would burn their house down and then fled.
