Fired Worker Assaults Ex-Boss' Son In Front Of Grandson On LI: Police

NEW HYDE PARK, NY — An apparently disgruntled worker kicked in the door of his former employer's home and assaulted his son in front of his seven-year-old grandson and elderly mother at his New Hyde Park home on Christmas, Nassau police said.

Kar Toong went to a Robby Lane home at around 4:16 p.m. on Monday to confront his former employer about being terminated and was yelling and cursing when the man's son, 48, and grandson, 7, opened the front door to question the man’s conduct, according to police.

Toong kicked the door, forcibly went inside the house, and began to strike the man with a closed fist, and the boy’s grandmother, 74, tried to intervene, injuring her left hand, police said, adding that he was forced out of the home and proceeded to kick the passenger door of a 2014 Toyota
Sienna.

Officers responded and Toong, 37, of Brooklyn, was arrested on charges of first-degree burglary, second-and third-degree assault, as well as third-degree criminal mischief and endangering the welfare of a child, police said.

The 48-year-old man and 74-year-old woman both suffered from pain and swelling to their
hands and an ambulance responded for evaluation and treatment, but both refused
further medical treatment, police said.

He is scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
