I was kinda more thinking the other person kicked a garbage can or chair and it banged the authors knee or something. Had similar happen at a start up years ago

I was kinda more thinking the other person kicked a garbage can or chair and it banged the authors knee or something. Had similar happen at a start up years ago and seems more plausible than being attacked. If he were attacked like I think he wanted it to sound then a lawsuit would probably get him the money he wanted
