Police in St. John's expect to lay charges in a workplace confrontation that involved an unusual weapon: a glue gun.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said an employee of Hearn Distributing is believed to have struck a truck driver on May 12 with a piece of metal. The driver was visiting the premises of the Mount Pearl beer-distributing company.

The truck driver then confronted the employee, who in turn responded with a glue gun.

Police would not comment on the extent of the victim's injuries.

The RNC would not say whether the suspect still works for the company.

Police are still investigating the incident.
