Toronto police said on Oct. 4 at around 5:29 p.m., officers received a report of an assault near 1558 Eglinton Avenue West.

Police said a parking enforcement officer was conducting “rush hour enforcement” and asked a driver to “move along.”

Officers said the parking enforcement officer continued on to other vehicles and issued violations in the “no stopping rush hour” route.

“The parking enforcement officer returned to the first vehicle and proceeded to write a violation as the driver had not moved his vehicle,” police said in a news release.

Police said the driver exited his vehicle and allegedly hit the officer’s hands, knocking the ticket device to the ground.

Officers said the man remained at the scene until police officers arrived.
