A Riverhead man was arrested on an assault charge after he attacked a co-worker in Bridgehampton and then gave a fake name, according to Southampton Town Police.

Samuel Guevara, 18, of West Main Street in Riverhead was charged with third-degree assault last Tuesday night on Sapaponack Road in Bridgehampton after he threw a co-worker to the ground and then repeatedly punched him in the face and head, breaking his nose, according to police.

Mr. Guevara also was charged with false personation for misleading officers about his identity in order to avoid prosecution on an outstanding bench warrant from Riverhead Town, according to police.
