"The victim began yelling at (the driver), who struck him a second time causing to fall down," said police Det. Sgt. Anthony Fugnitti.

Fabian Barrios, 41, later turned himself into Moonachie police headquarters and was charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle and also issued a traffic ticket.
