The Tuscanini's Restaurant employee told officers he went to the restaurant to ask about 94 hours of work for which he hadn't been paid. He said his pay rate is $9 an hour. According to the report, Mansour became mad during the conversation and retrieved a club, which he used to hit the employee of his arm and back.
Police say the employee suffered bruising but didn't go to the hospital. Footage from a city camera confirmed the altercation.
A judge delayed Mansour's Thursday trial so he could hire a lawyer.
