A second assault in three days at the auto components plant in Saline has led to one of the involved employees being taken to the emergency room at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Saline.
Sgt. Jay Basso of the Saline Police Department said an investigation into the incident is underway but that the second person who they were told was involved in the altercation left the plant after the event and is not due back for a few days.

The plant, currently owned by Faurecia was formerly run by Automotive Components Holdings and Visteon.
There are charges pending in the assault that took place Tuesday in the plant between an employee and a human resources labor relations representative.
Due to correlating reports from multiple sources, AnnArbor.com incorrectly reported that the altercation took place between a union labor representative and an employee.
According to Basso, an employee, who is expected to be charged shortly, was going to human resources for disciplinary issues. He became angry and is accused of striking a labor relations representative.
Police have been in contact with the suspect and his lawyer, and Basso said paperwork necessary for filing charges has been sent to the prosecutor.
