A mail man is recuperating after being attacked and breaking multiple bones in his face. According to police, he was assaulted by at least two individuals on motorbikes, who are still on the loose.
Authorities have revealed new surveillance video that clearly shows the whole encounter.
It shows a 57-year-old USPS postal worker wheeling his cart about 6 p.m. on Monday when a guy driving an unauthorized motorcycle on a sidewalk suddenly appears behind him. The postal carrier is seen slapping at him with his keys, and the suspect strikes back, and the situation escalates into mayhem.
The motorbike driver got a few kicks in before being joined by another rider who arrived on his bike.
The two men ganged up on the victim, cornering him against a storefront as they both pummeled him in the face.
Medics transported the man to Woodhull Medical Center, where he was treated for fractured facial bones and facial wounds.
