A woman in the Hollywood Hills area accused a U.S. Postal Service letter carrier of kicking her dog when he delivered mail in her neighborhood.
Grainy security video captured the moments it happened. In it, the mail carrier walks away from a home in the 4700 block of Deseret Drive in Woodland Hills as the woman and her dog walk toward him on the sidewalk. As a postal worker approaches his truck, the dog appears to walk up and jump at him.
Immediately after, the letter carrier appears to motion his foot toward the dog before it scurries away. During the encounter, the dog, whose name is Rocky, does not appear to be on a leash.
“It’s just kind of unspeakable,” owner Alex Rafizadeh said. “I don’t understand why he did it; maybe he was having a bad day. I don’t think that excuses kicking an animal.
