They found one man with a wound on his hand from a switchblade knife and were told that an Amazon employee, identified as Jelani J. Senior, age 20, address unknown, was the aggressor.

An investigation by East Fishkill detectives found that Senior had gotten into a gray sedan with Massachusetts with a woman driver and passenger, the chief said.
