A Hudson Valley man is accused of hitting another man with a hammer while on the Taconic State Parkway.
On Monday around 4:15 p.m, New York State Police from Livingston were dispatched by Columbia County 911 to a physical domestic disturbance on the Taconic State Parkway.
A subsequent investigation revealed that during the dispute, 30-year-old James G. Corradina of Briarcliff Manor hit someone with a hammer, police say.
The unnamed male victim suffered a minor laceration. He was evaluated at the scene by Northern Dutchess Paramedics but declined further medical treatment.

Corradina was arraigned in the Town of Gallatin Court and released on his own recognizance. He is due to appear in the Town of Taghkanic Court on Feb 23.
