Nutley Boss Tries To Fire Worker, Gets Water Thrown In Face: Cops

NUTLEY, NJ — A worker at a Nutley business didn’t take the news that they were fired well earlier this month, flying into a rage and throwing water in their former boss’ face, authorities said.

According to the Nutley Police Department, a fight broke out at a local business on July 7 when the employer tried to terminate one of their workers.

“While doing so the employee was enraged and threw water in the employer’s face that sparked a physical altercation,” Nutley police stated. “The terminated employee fled in a vehicle that was stopped several blocks away.”

Nobody suffered serious injury during the scuffle. All parties were advised of their right to sign complaints, police said.

Authorities didn’t identify the business or location in an initial statement about the fight.
