“The shouting got louder and more aggressive with a lot of really awful racial slurs.”

A 23-year veteran postal carrier was pepper-sprayed in what Pasadena police were calling a possible road rage attack Wednesday. Police were searching for the woman who attacked her.

YWCA workers came to the woman’s aid after what she called an unprovoked attack as she delivered mail at 10:30 a.m. on Lake Street.

“We started hearing shouting out on the front street,” Jessica Kubel, who works at the YWCA, said. “The shouting got louder and more aggressive with a lot of really awful racial slurs.”

“While we were out there, the woman who pepper sprayed her was still yelling and screaming at us,” Kubel said.
