A United States Postal Service mail carrier was robbed at knifepoint in the 4300 block of Bradley Lane in Chevy Chase at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Montgomery County Police told ABC affiliate WJLA-TV that a male suspect in his 20s brandished a knife at the worker, stealing the worker’s book bag.
The suspect then fled the scene in a nearby gray sedan with tinted windows.
Police say the car was possibly a Lexus. Police also said preliminarily that only personal items were taken in the attack.
No mail or USPS property was stolen, including the “arrow” keys used to open blue collection boxes.
