An FDNY firefighter slugged another man who threatened him during a Bronx road rage feud and was busted for the fistfight, cops said.
Firefighter Peter Clough, 34, clashed with Jelani Footman, 28, over a smash-up earlier in the day before tensions came to a head on Edison Avenue near Bruckner Boulevard around 5:50 p.m., police said.
