A heated exchange of words escalated into a violent clash in Flushing earlier this summer, according to cops.
On June 7 at around 8:50 p.m., two male individuals inside a home at Main Street and Cherry Avenue were engaged in a verbal argument when the suspect hit a 45-year-old victim over the head with a glass bottle and threw hot water on him.
