It happened Saturday morning inside Hicks Mega Laundromat on Hicks Street in Red Hook.
Police say the suspect started arguing with a 34-year-old employee when his washing machine malfunctioned.
That's when things turned physical with the suspect punching, kicking and pushing the employee before hitting him with a chair and taking off.
