Jan. 24, 2022—A customer and a mechanic both called deputies reporting an assault from the other party at a repair shop in Utah, ABC 4 reported. 

Police say deputies were dispatched to reports of an assault, saying each party wanted to press charges against the other and both providing differing information.

According to police, a 51-year-old man went to a repair shop to dispute charges on his auto repair. Police say a 54-year-old mechanic allegedly began to call the customer vulgar names before throwing a punch.

According to police, the mechanic claims “words were exchanged” before the two bumped chests and got into each other’s face. Officials are investigating the incident.
