EMS responded and transported the agent to Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze, where the traffic agent was treated and then released for a head injury and contusion to the neck.
The suspect is described by the NYPD as a male black, 20’s, thin build, last seen wearing a black t-shirt and grey trousers.
As the ticket agent crosses the street, the man slips up behind him and punches the agent with his left fist.
It’s unclear if the victim was the one who had given the attacker the ticket and when it was issued.
Witnesses are urged to call Crime Stoppers with tips that could lead the suspect’s arrest.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782)
