An East Orange man was stabbed three times and his jaw was fractured in a vicious attack by a coworker at a Jersey City car wash, the victim told Jersey City police.
After the assault at 4 p.m. yesterday, the 24-year-old was driven to CarePoint Health Christ Hospital with stab wounds to the left hand, left shoulder and the back of his head, a police report said.
The man also had a broken jaw and his upper and lower teeth had been knocked loose in the attack he told police occurred at Majestic Car Wash.
Because of the extent of his injuries, the man was taken to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson.
The East Orange man told police he has been working at the car wash for two weeks and he has not been paid yet, and that he was accused of stealing a coworker's tablet, the police report said.
The victim told police that as a result of the alleged theft, his boss had the coworker -- who was identified -- attack him, the police report said.
As of last night, no one has been arrested, police said.
