New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was arrested Friday night on misdemeanor charges by the Kenner Police Department after an altercation with a construction worker in Thomas’ neighborhood, according to police. 

Thomas was arrested after a statement was obtained from the victim, who said that Thomas began to yell at him about parking in front of his house. According to the report, Thomas verbally threatened to harm the victim before picking up a brick and throwing it at the windshield of the truck, which caused "little if any damage," according to police.

Thomas allegedly became upset that the worker began filming him during the altercation, which is when he threw the brick before knocking the phone out of the worker's hand, shoving him and saying he did not want to be recorded.

WDSU 6 News spoke with the alleged victim who detailed the altercation. 

"He drives up, and I see him get out, and I was like, I don’t know what he’s doing. I’m just worried about my job site, and he walks up to this big pile of sand and grabs a brick, and he throws it at my car. And the guys are like, ‘Hey, man your truck, your truck!’ Oh, dude, he’s actually doing something," the man told WDSU Friday night.
