A man has been arrested after allegedly assaulting a Toronto parking officer near Christie Pits Park, police say.

Toronto police said they were called to the area of Christie and Bloor streets at around 8:26 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24.

Police said a parking enforcement officer was working in the area when an “irate” man became aggressive.

He followed the officer to his car and pushed the driver’s door into him, according to police. When the parking enforcement officer was able to get into his vehicle and roll up the window, police allege the man punched the window and spat on the windshield.
