NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- An NYPD traffic agent was pummeled in Hell's Kitchen on Thursday afternoon by an attacker who remained at large Friday, police said.
The traffic agent was on duty near W. 47th Street and 11th Avenue at 3:20 p.m. when someone walked up and punched him repeatedly, according to police.
He was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital and treated for a laceration to his face.
The attacker fled eastbound after the assault. A description of the suspect wasn't immediately provided by police.
It's unclear if a traffic dispute led to the attack, but it's not uncommon for drivers to lash out at traffic agents over tickets.
