Police arrested a Queens man after he allegedly drove his truck into a computer control at an Elmont car wash, causing the control to be demolished.
Police allege that on March 30 at 2:20 p.m., Assi Touti, 37, of Forest Hills, was dissatisfied with the service he received at Mr. Hand Car Wash on Linden Boulevard in Elmont.

Police said he allegedly drove his Silverado truck into the car wash's computer control repeatedly, trapping three employees between the machinery and a fence.
According to police, the controller, valued at approximately $12,000, was demolished.
There were no injuries reported. Touti was charged with second degree Criminal Mischief and three counts of second degree Reckless Endangerment.
