"Yi reportedly said he would not pay Zhao the $1,000 until all the work was completed. Zhao then allegedly swung his pickax with the flat side at Yi, hitting him in the back and then the head."

Should it be edited to one of these:

"swung his pickax with the flat side towards at Yi"
"swung his pickax with the flat side forward at Yi"
?
