Is the sentence phrased as you would have?

He often got into arguments with customers. And it came to a head one day when he threatened to stab a man in the neck with a pencil if he didn't buy a washing machine.


1) Is the emboldened sentence phrased exactly as you would have?

2) Is there a way to phrase the sentence starting with "And it came to a head one day when he threatened a man..."?
