Two people were hurt and police have issued warrants against two others, following one of the oddest attacks in recent memory. According to North Wilkesboro police, Scott Nafe, the owner of the former Carolina Mirror factory building on N.C. 268 East, was taken to Baptist Medical Center with a skull fracture after being attacked with an eight-inch bolt. That's right, the device one usually uses to attach things together. Police say a disgruntled contractor, Michael Sutton, attacked Nafe and employee Katrina Johnson. Warrants have also been issued against his father, William Rose Sutton.
The victims said Michael Sutton had gotten into an argument with Nafe over money before the assault occurred. According to the police report, Johnson jumped in and was trying to defend Nafe. A couple of men working on the business tried to get the younger Sutton off Nafe during the attack and that was when the older Sutton began swinging a chain, to keep anyone from intervening.

Police are still looking for the men, who are laborers from out of the area.
