FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. – Officials are investigating an altercation between a U.S. Postal worker and a resident involving a dog in Frederick County, Md., that was caught on camera.
FOX 5 spoke with the owner of the dog seen in the video. She is in a cast, and says she wants to press charges against the postal worker for assault.
The incident happened Friday in the Amber Meadows neighborhood off U.S. Route 15, where Frederick police responded to a reported disturbance involving a USPS mail carrier and a resident.
Video recorded from a neighbor’s vantage point shows a dog running toward the mail carrier, followed by a physical confrontation between the two adults.
The dog’s owner, Taqia Rollins, plans to pursue charges against the postal worker. She says the dog seen in the video is her family’s seven-month-old puppy.
According to police, the dog did not bite or injure the mail carrier. Animal Control was notified but did not take enforcement action because no bite occurred, police said.
