A Dunkin' employee was taken to the hospital on Friday after being attacked at one of the coffee and doughnut chain's stores in Watertown, Massachusetts.

Watertown police say the employee was assaulted around 6 a.m. Friday inside the Dunkin' located at 48 Mount Auburn Street.

According to police, the suspect became involved in an argument before attacking the employee.

Police said the victim's injuries were not serious. He was back home Saturday, according to some of his co-workers who told NBC10 Boston they don't believe he knew the man who attacked him.

The suspect, identified as 65-year-old Vartan Krikorian, was arrested and is facing charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct.

The victim's co-workers told NBC10 Boston on Saturday that the man entered the side door of the store, which may have been cracked open, and he went behind the counter and attacked the victim, who has worked at the store for about eight years and is well-liked by customers.

There's no word on why Krikorian allegedly attacked the Dunkin' employee, or when he's due in court.
