NYC postal worker pistol-whipped by thug attempting to rob post office

A maniac allegedly pistol-whipped a female postal worker in an attempted robbery of a post office in East Harlem, the NYPD said Friday night.

Cops were called to the Hellgate Station post office at 153 E. 110th Street just after 6:15 p.m.

A man allegedly entered the post office armed with a gun and attempted to rob the federal building, police said, adding that he struck a 51-year-old female in the head with the weapon and demanded money.

However, the suspect fled empty-handed on a bike.

The victim was treated at the scene for her injuries and did not require further medical attention, the NYPD said.

No arrests have been made, and an investigation is ongoing.
