An NYPD tow truck driver was attacked by three men while he was on the job towing a motorcycle, police said.
The driver, who asked not to be identified, told NBC 4 New York he was towing an expired motorcycle in the Kew Gardens Hills section of Queens Tuesday when a man emerged from the home and began arguing with him.
The motorcycle owner tried to prevent the tow truck driver from taking the motorcycle, and it eventualy led to a fight, the driver said. Two other men, whom the driver believes are relatives of the motorcycle owner, joined in the fight and punched and kicked the driver.
The driver said a bystander waving a stick broke up the fight. He said he sustained bruises to his arms, back and elbows, and needed medical treatment.
The NYPD said three men were arrested and charged with assault and harassment.
