A man apparently upset over repairs to his truck is accused of intentionally hitting his mechanic Thursday afternoon with his vehicle in Otay Mesa, San Diego police said.
Police said the suspect was having his truck serviced just after 1 p.m. in the 8600 block of De La Fuente when he became upset over repairs to a certain part.
That’s when the 41-year-old suspect got inside his Scion XB and drove toward the 35-year-old mechanic, hitting him with the car, police said.
The mechanic suffered a compound fracture to his tibia and was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were determined not to be life threatening. The suspect was arrested.
Detectives are investigating.
