A New York man was arrested Saturday outside the Secaucus Walmart after an altercation over a parking spot turned violent, police said.

Felix Aponte, 37, was charged with aggravated assault and weapons offenses related to a knife that he pulled during a fight with three women inside the store, Secaucus police Capt. Dennis Miller said.

The conflict began in the parking lot and continued inside the produce section of the store, where things turned physical. Aponte brandished a folding knife and swung the weapon at one of the women, striking her jacket, Miller said.

When a male employee tried breaking up the fight, Aponte slashed him on the hand, Miller said, adding that Aponte then fled the store and was eventually apprehended by police in the parking lot.

The employee was taken to Hudson Regional Hospital and was treated for the injury, which was not considered life-threatening, Miller said.

“With the public’s assistance and their wherewithal to get involved, the weapon was recovered. The suspect was successfully identified and is able to be prosecuted because of the cooperation of the witnesses and the Walmart staff,” Miller said.

The violent altercation unfolded one day before a separate incident was caught on video at the North Bergen Walmart. On Sunday afternoon, a New York woman was arrested after spraying employees and customers with pepper spray, and threatening an employee with a knife, authorities said.

The woman now faces 19 charges stemming from Sunday’s incident.
