this has to be comms, so much unnecessary detail:
FBI agent on stakeout parked in a Queens bus stop roughs up, handcuffs traffic agent for writing ticket
An FBI agent on Queens stakeout clapped handcuffs on the wrong man — a uniformed city traffic enforcement agent who wrote him up for parking illegally, the traffic agent and law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
Traffic agent Dipankar Dipu said he was still nursing an injured shoulder four days after his Sunnyside clash with fuming fed Kenneth Diu, who was parked between a metered spot and a bus stop.
“I can’t say what made him react so unprofessionally,” Dipu told The News on Saturday. “I was just doing my job. Why he assaulted me and humiliated me in front of people, I don’t know. I’m just suffering as a result.”
The federal agent was accused of assaulting and then handcuffing Dipu after the traffic agent refused to void the parking summons last Tuesday, police said.
As of Saturday, no charges had been filed against the FBI agent — but leaders of the traffic agents’ union said they hope the Queens District Attorney takes action.
Dipu, 33, was making his rounds along Greenpoint Ave. and 46th St. in Sunnyside about 2:30 p.m. when he spotted the black 2015 Jeep Cherokee with tinted windows, police and union officials said.“The Jeep was about 30% in the bus stop area and about 70% in a meter zone,” recalled Dipu. “There was another car completely in the bus stop and I went to that car and the told the motorist to move, which he did.
“Then I came back to the Jeep. I was trying to look through the window to see if there was anybody in the car, but I couldn’t see anything.”
Dipu, noting the vehicle lacked a meter receipt, was about to stick a ticket under the Jeep’s windshield wiper when he heard some rustling from inside. Just after he placed the ticket on the window, he said, the Jeep’s occupant put an FBI placard on the car’s dashboard.
Dipu said he wouldn’t have ticketed the vehicle if he knew the driver was a federal law enforcement agent, but was unaware of the situation until after the summons was written.
A moment later, an infuriated Diu exited the Jeep and demanded that Dipu void the summons.
“He was very arrogant,” recalled Dipu, a native of Bangladesh. “He became angry with me, yelling at me to ‘Void the ticket! Void the ticket! You have to void the ticket!’”
Dipu explained that was impossible in the ticketing system, and advised the agent to contact his supervisor. Diu instead delivered his bizarre response: “I’m going to arrest you.”
“He tried to snatch my machine from my hand, but I resisted him,” Dipu recalled. “But the second time he snatched it from my hand forcefully and I could not protect it. He took it, went into the car and locked the door.”
The FBI agent used the device to somehow cancel his ticket, with a void slip popping out of the ticket printing device on Dipu’s belt.
