The NYPD has released a video of a man police say assaulted two department traffic safety agents in the Bronx this week.
The incident began with the agents asking the driver of a 2008 Nissan Altima to move his vehicle because it was blocking a fire hydrant Wednesday night, a police spokeswoman told Fox News Saturday.
The driver exited the vehicle irate and started punching both traffic agents in the face, she said.
“The individual then fled in his vehicle to parts unknown,” she said.
