A 30-year-old Dunedin man has been given a pre-charge warning after allegedly assaulting a Dunedin City Council parking warden on George St today.
Southern District Command Centre Senior Sergeant James Ure said the man was arrested after he appeared to push the parking warden during an altercation.
He said Dunedin Police had viewed CCTV footage of the incident, which showed the parking warden approaching a commercial vehicle which was parked illegally on a bus stop, near the Octagon.
‘‘An infringement notice was being issued.''
After some words were exchanged, physical contact was made and there was a call to police.
‘‘[The warden] has made a complaint that there was a push involved, and having viewed the CCTV footage, it appears to substantiate that.''
