A parking dispute between two men in Brooklyn, New York, turned deadly Saturday when one of the men took a swing at the other, police said.
The fatal strike happened on Clarkson Avenue in East Flatbush after a 30-year-old tow truck driver arrived around 8:45 p.m. to remove an illegally parked car, police said.
Police said the owner of the car, a 61-year-old man, tried to stop the tow. At one point, the driver started banging on the side of the truck to stop the tow, police said.
The altercation became physical, with the tow truck driver delivering a punch that knocked the older man to the ground, police said.
Medics transported the 61-year-old man to Brookdale Hospital, but his injuries proved fatal. Authorities have not released his identity.
Police said the tow truck driver was arrested. No criminal charges were immediately announced.
