Police say the father was shoveling the driveway Monday with his 10-year-old son and asked his two teenage sons to help.
Police say the teenagers got into an argument and the 19-year-old hit his father in the head with a shovel. The blow knocked the father to the ground and the 17-year-old allegedly smacked him in the back with his shovel.
The two brothers fled but were arrested a short time later.
Wili Almonte is charged with second-degree assault and conspiracy. His brother, not identified because of his age, faces the same charges.
The 42-year-old father, whom police did not identify, was treated at Stamford Hospital for cuts to his head.
