This past Wednesday morning, a fight over a parking summons in Brooklyn left an NYPD traffic agent with facial injuries. The incident happened at around 9:30 a.m. near Avenue U and East 8th Street, according to PIX11. The 57-year-old traffic agent and a man in an orange BMW got into a heated debate about a citation that had been issued.
As the altercation swiftly became heated, the driver attacked the agent, hitting him in the face several times before driving away. According to officials, the agent was then transported to NYC Health + Hospitals/South Brooklyn Health. To help find the attacker, who is still at large, the police are now asking the public for suggestions.
NBC New York reported in a similar description that the traffic enforcement agent was on duty and in uniform when the incident occurred. His face and lips swelled as a result of the incident, and local paramedics had to provide medical assistance. The identity of the suspect is still a mystery.
It serves as a reminder of the risks traffic cops encounter when enforcing parking laws on city streets. Any information about the event or the whereabouts of the suspect and his unusually colored vehicle is being actively sought by the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline. The public can contribute by calling 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish-speaking callers, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Anyone with information on the incident is being urged to come forward by authorities.
