As long as it's tied into the existing slab he will be okay. Otherwise you are correct. I would pull out of the floor.
Here is a link to how to tie into existing slabs.

Also, you need to maintain a 1 to 1 ratio between depth of the anchor to the edge of the slab to avoid break out. This means with a 4 inch anchor, you have to have a minumum of 4 inches to the edge of the slab, or slab joint.
