A motorist punched a pizza delivery driver in the head Thursday in Butte after claiming the delivery driver was tailgating him.

The employee for Domino’s Pizza said he drove into the business parking lot about 9:55 p.m. when someone in a white pickup truck pulled in behind him, according to Butte police. The driver got out and accused the delivery driver of tailgating.

When the delivery driver said he didn’t know what the man was talking about, the man punched him in the side of the head. The driver then returned to his truck and drove away.

The employee described the man as being about 5 feet 10 inches tall and extremely overweight, with short, brown hair, police reported. He said the truck had temporary plates.

The victim sustained a small cut on his ear from the punch.
