BRONX, NY – A routine parking summons turned violent in the Bronx last week when a man allegedly walked up to an on-duty NYPD Traffic Enforcement Agent and punched him in the face before fleeing along Davidson Avenue, police said.

The assault happened at approximately 12:03 p.m. Aug. 28 in front of 1800 Davidson Avenue within the 46th Precinct.
