Two Palmyra men were charged early Tuesday morning after a physical fight that led to property damage by an axe and hammer, plus threats involving a shotgun.

Joeseph Heisey, 23, and Steven Heisey Sr., both Palmyra residents, were both charged with simple assault and other charges in connection with the fight that occurred overnight Tuesday, according to South Londonderry Township police.

Officers were called at 12:45 a.m. for the altercation, and found both men were violent toward each other.

Police said Joeseph Heisey is accused of punching, kicking and threatening Steven Heisey Sr., plus smashing two vehicle windows with an ax.

Steven Heisey Sr. is accused of punching, kicking and threatening the younger Heisey, having smashed a window of a vehicle with a masonry hammer, police said.

Police said the older Heisey was also pointed a double barrel shotgun at Joeseph Heisey and putting the shotgun in his mouth.

The shotgun was discarded into the woods before police arrived, but was recovered by the police K9 team.

Police did not say if the men were hurt during the fight.
