A Natick man was arrested Friday in connection with a shooting that injured a Department of Public Works employee who was driving a street cleaner.

Allen Sutherland, 24, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and malicious destruction of property over $250, according to Wellesley police.

The driver was shot by a pellet gun on Rock Ridge Road in Wellesley late Tuesday morning. Officials said that Allen was staying at Wellesley apartment at the time of the incident.

"As (the street cleaner) was beginning to make the corner, something was fired through the window. It pierced through the Plexiglas window and it struck the driver on the back of his head behind his ear," Wellesley Police Deputy Chief Bill Brooks said.

The worker was not seriously injured.
