Coop City Public Safety officers arrested a resident of Building 31A, early last Friday morning, December 18th, 2015, after he allegedly assaulted a female postal worker making deliveries of cards and packages in the lobby of the building shortly after 8 a.m.

According to Captain James Keappock, commander of Public Safety's Patrol Division, officers responded to the lobby of Building 31A shortly after an NYPD radio report was heard of any assault in progress at that location.

Upon arriving at the scent, the Captain said that officers found a postal delivery person, delivering mail to the lobby that morning, who reported being punched and knocked to the ground by the suspect.

The victim was transported to Jacobi Medical Center and treated for multiple cuts and bruises to her face, according to Public Safety.

According to the report on the incident, the suspect also grabbed a package scanning device from the postal worker and severely damaged it. The scanning device was said to have a value of $1,500.

The U.S. Postal Police also responded to the scene and filed a report on the assault.

The suspect now faces a number of serious charges, including robbery, assault, criminal mischief and obstruction of governmental administration.

Captain Keappock added that the suspect, upon questioning, reported that he was angry because the letter carrier told him that no deliveries can be made beyond the eighth floor.
