Two employees of Ridge Road Express had a verbal altercation turn physical Monday morning. And the alleged assailant found himself charged with assault.

Niagara County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the bus garage around 6:14 a.m. where they were told that 63-year-old Terry Herman, 11484 Portage Road in Medina, had punched another employee after the two had a verbal disagreement.
