Is "where" correctly used

Besides phone calls where the loan shark runners had hurled vulgarities at him, they harassed him by calling his colleagues at the office.

Is "where" correctly used?

Thanks.

"Where" in this case could be replaced with "during which" or "when" or even "wherein" (which is formal). It is correct but not easy to pick up in the first reading.
