A shocking incident unfolded in a Staten Island apartment on Wednesday when a mailman turned violent towards his colleague, brutally stabbing her, as reported by police sources. The 26-year-old woman was attacked with a pocket knife by the postal worker after an argument inside the Dongan Hills apartment around 3 p.m. The assailant fled the scene in a black BMW sedan while wearing a USPS jacket.
Both individuals were off-duty when the altercation occurred in the woman’s fifth-floor apartment near Dongan Hills Avenue and Richmond Road. The woman managed to seek help by asking a neighbor to call 911, prompting the police to respond to the scene. She was found in the lobby with multiple stab wounds on her chest, stomach, arm, and thigh, with a trail of blood leading back to her apartment.
The injured woman was quickly transported to Staten Island University Hospital North, where she was reported to be in stable condition. She informed the authorities that the attacker was her coworker at a post office in lower Manhattan, but the mailman is currently at large and has not been apprehended by the police.
Efforts to reach out to USPS for a statement on the incident have been made, but no response has been received at the time of reporting. The severity of the situation is evident in the details provided by sources and the swift action taken by law enforcement and medical personnel. Additional reporting on the matter has been done by Tina Moore, shedding more light on this disturbing event.
