A postal worker told police he was attacked and robbed at around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, at 3304 Giles Place.

The mailman, who operates out of the post office at 5517 Broadway, said a man approached him from behind and covered his mouth, before wrestling him to the ground. A second man then approached and removed a set of approximately 20 keys from the victim’s belt loop, police said.

The victim told police that while he was on the ground, he noticed two other men removing mail from his cart.

Police said the victim did not report any injuries and did not notice any weapons.
The victim said all four suspects were wearing dark green jackets.
The case remains open.
