A Des Moines Public Works employee will receive unspecified punishment for harassing a transgender person last week at a bar.

Numerous Public Works employees were drinking at Z's Bar and Grill, 1511 South Union St., on Friday when a city employee approached an elderly transgender patron and pulled a wig off the person's head.

"Appropriate disciplinary action" has been taken against the unnamed employee, Public Works Director Bill Stowe said on Wednesday.
