An arrest warrant has been issued for the actor who played the green ranger in the Power Rangers film franchise over an alleged parking dispute, police say.

A truck linked to a man, identified as Hector David Rivera, was parked in a spot for people with disabilities at a shopping centre in Nampa, Idaho, when a man confronted him, city police spokesperson Carmen Boeger said.

The victim, a man in his 60s who uses a walking frame, took pictures of the licence plate of a pickup truck that was parked in the disabled spot.

Video shows a man push the victim to the ground and then stand over him and utter "harsh words", Boeger said.

The man left the victim on the ground after the incident and drove away in a four-door truck with Texas licence plates, Nampa Police Department added in a statement on Facebook.

Investigators were able to identify Rivera through the help of dashcam video of the incident and a request for help from the public.
