WESLACO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Authorities are searching for a man who they say robbed a U.S. postal worker Wednesday afternoon.

The woman was delivering mail when a man in a Chevrolet truck pulled up behind her and took her wallet from her back pocket, a news release stated.

“When the victim tried to stop him, the suspect pushed the victim to the ground causing her to fall and fracture her wrist,” authorities said.

The sheriff’s office describes the suspect as a Hispanic male in his 20s with a thin build and short hair.
