Medford Man Arrested After Pulling Knife on Co-Worker

A couple of workers at Russo’s and Sons market in Watertown got into an argument early on the morning of April 4, and it got serious when one of the men pulled out a knife.

The two men began arguing and one challenged the other to a fight, said Watertown Police Lt. Michael Lawn. The suspect, identified as Tien Van Nguyen, reacted to the challenge.

“Nguyen pulled a knife out and pointed it at his co-worker,” Lawn said.

Police arrested Nguyen, 49, of 46 Linwood St. Apt. 1 in Medford, on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, Lawn said.
