Mailman who aggressively pushed Jewish boy is ‘not nice,’ an ‘animal’ with a quick temper, locals shared.

Postman Accused of Pushing Young Boy

Residents have described the postal worker accused of forcefully pushing a 4-year-old Jewish boy as an “animal” known for his aggressive behavior. They shared their concerns about Gabriel Stan, the postman involved in the incident that took place on March 19.

Yosef, a 21-year-old father of two, recounted his encounters with Stan, noting how he often seemed angry. “He wasn’t kind. I tried to thank him for delivering the mail, but he yelled at me, saying I was intruding,” Yosef said. “We’re really not happy with him.”

Yosef’s wife, who chose to remain anonymous, also described a tense interaction. “Once, when he was delivering a package, I asked him something, and he started screaming at me,” she said.

The alleged assault happened in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Ramapo, New Jersey, filled with children playing outside and families getting ready for Passover. Stan’s grandmother, Miriam Kingoff, expressed her outrage, stating, “What he did was inhumane. There’s absolutely no excuse to attack a child.”

Security footage captured the moment Stan pushed the boy as he approached a nearby postbox. This shove not only knocked the child to the ground but also sent his yarmulke flying. The boy quickly got back up, retrieved his yarmulke, and ran with other children who had scattered away from the postman.

Kingoff shared her relief that the boy was safe, saying he was “a very innocent child” and that the children were merely drawn to the mail delivery. “When there’s mail or construction, they all rush to see what’s happening. That’s just kids being kids,” she noted.

Stan, 39, faces charges of assault and endangering a child’s welfare, but police sources clarified that the case is not currently being classified as a hate crime.

The U.S. Postal Service confirmed that Stan remains employed but did not disclose any details about his current work status. A USPS representative stated, “In accordance with postal policy, we do not discuss internal personnel matters.”

The boy’s mother chose not to comment further, and on Thursday, Stan was conspicuously absent from his mail route at the local post office. The replacement postman opted not to provide any comments on the situation.
