A school committee member in Saugus, Massachusetts, faces charges after assaulting an elderly person with a bag of frozen fish.
The incident took place at the Saugus Senior Center on Wednesday, according to the Saugus Advertiser.
Assistant Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti tells the newspaper that 73-year-old Marty Graney was volunteering at a monthly food bank to benefit veterans when Arthur Grabowski started making inflammatory remarks at him.
Graney and Grabowski went outside, according to the Advertiser, at which point Grabowski hit him in the area of his left ear with a bag of frozen fish fillets.
The paper reports this is not the first time the men have confronted each other.
Grabowski has been charged with an aggravated offense of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
