At 8 p.m., callers reported to police that two pick-up trucks were ramming into each other in the parking lot, Montclair officers said. Upon arrival, both parties were separated and officers noticed a significant amount of blood on the ground near the driver's side door of one of the vehicles, police said.
A 58-year-old Randolph man was covered in blood as first responders headed to the scene. The Randolph resident said he was sitting in the parking lot awaiting a friend when his vehicle was intentionally struck by the Fairfield man, police said. Police did not name the Fairfield man.
Both men exited their vehicles and a verbal dispute ensued that soon turned physical, police said. The Fairfield man retrieved a masonry hammer from his vehicle and began striking the victim in the head and then retrieved a 3-foot leveling tool and also hit the victim with it, resulting in severe lacerations to his head, police said.
Both men were transported to nearby hospitals.
