MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin – Attacked while on the job: A female postal carrier had to fight off a masked man in Milwaukee on Monday, August 25th — and it’s not the only incident being investigated.
Monday’s attack happened on the city’s north side. This, following a similar attack on August 11th.
Belser lives in the neighborhood where Monday’s attack happened — a neighborhood where children play.
The mail carrier, out on her route, was attacked from behind.
Belser says he gave police a description of a suspicious man he saw wandering the neighborhood earlier Monday morning.
“He had his hood over his head so nobody could see him and he had on all gray, so he was walking with his head down,” Belser said.
The postal carrier says the attack happened near West Courtland and North 77th Street. She says she wasn’t able to get a good look at the attacker because the person was wearing a hood, a mask and black gloves.

Troy, how would centralized delivery prevent an attack? If anything it might actually make carriers MORE vulnerable.
Very sad that this happened!!
NDCBU’s and Curbline delivery for all existing park & loop routes should be MANDITORY!!
