Man Attacks NYPD Traffic Agent Over 5th Ave Parking Ticket
Police are looking for a man who allegedly attacked an NYPD traffic agent who was trying to give him a parking ticket outside a midtown Manhattan Barnes & Noble late last month.
Authorities say the 27-year-old traffic agent was ticketing a vehicle parked in front of the bookstore at 555 Fifth Avenue around lunchtime Oct. 20 when a man walked up to him, yelled at him and pushed him.
The suspect then punched the agent in the face, leaving the man with pain and swelling. He got into a Jeep Wrangler with a Maryland license plate and drove off.
The traffic agent was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Police released a surveillance image of the suspect (above). Anyone with information about him is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
