A
car passenger flew into a rage – grabbing a warden's hand-held
terminal and assaulting him - when the vehicle received a parking
ticket.
The
vehicle's heavily tattooed driver initially argued about receiving
the fine, but his passenger escalated the aggression, kicking the
terminal across the road, scratching its screen.
Police
have released this image – recorded on the warden's body camera –
in the hope the suspect can be identified.
On
Sunday, July 5 at 2.46pm the traffic warden issued a parking fine to
the driver of a white car parked near Southwark Underground Station,
Southwark.
The
passenger got out of the car and started to shout at the male traffic
warden who was working for the local authority.
The
passenger then grabbed the warden’s mobile data terminal out of his
hands and threw it onto the floor and kicked it across the road,
causing criminal damage to the screen.
He
then assaulted the traffic warden.
The
victim did not require medical attention.
The
suspect is described as a tall, black man wearing a white t-shirt.
Anyone
who can identify the man shown in the CCTV footage or who has
information relating to the incident is asked to contact police on
101 quoting reference 185776 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555
111.
