YONKERS, N.Y. — A fistfight broke out between a fire commissioner and one of his officers over a thrown napkin at a holiday party.

LoHud.com reported that the incident happened Dec. 11 at a Yonkers (N.Y.) Fire Department Christmas party. No criminal charges have been filed, but the police report was turned over to the city’s human resources department.

Fire Commission John Darcy, who was sworn into office nine months ago, allegedly overreacted to a perceived slight. According to witnesses, Lt. Michael O'Connor tried to get the attention of a staff worker by tying a napkin in a knot and throwing it at her. However, he missed and hit Darcy on the back of his head.

O'Connor was taken by car to a hospital and Darcy was given medical attention. Both men were treated and later released.
