Two Arrested in Parking Dispute

It happened on 72nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues this afternoon.

According to a couple of witnesses I talked to on the street, a parking dispute got physical.

It started when an older guy, trying to work out of a plowed-in parking spot, kept ramming a younger guys' car.

The younger guy protested -- the older guy was really beating up his car.

Things escalated. The older guy apparently threw the first punch.  The younger guy punched back, harder.

The older guy was getting the worst of it when he called 911.

No rescue:  the cops arrested them both and hauled them off in the cruiser.

I got one word:  "shovel".
