PATERSON - Mayor Jose "Joey" Torres reacted angrily when a News 4 reporter confronted him about video appearing to show city workers doing private jobs for him while on the clock, according to a report published Thursday.

"Get out of my office," Torres told a News 4 producer and cameraman before asking a police officer to escort them out of city hall, according to the report.

Torres has refused to answer questions about a series of News 4 reports and video appearing to show employees doing private work for him.

The video shows workers washing a scooter, building bookshelves and installing equipment to allegedly be used at his nephew's beer business.

In March, Torres said no employees had ever done work for him while being paid overtime by the city.

News 4 has reported the state Attorney General's Office is investigating the matter.
