MANHATTAN - A couple is being sought by cops for allegedly attacking a firefighter in Little Italy during the San Gennaro Feast.

At around 11:30 pm on September 20, an on-duty firefighter was in front of a store at 197 Hester Street when the couple approached him. Cops said the suspects suddenly began arguing with the firefighter. Then the pair began punching the on duty FDNY member before running off.
