Mailman attacked by paintball gunmen

A mailman received a surprise delivery himself on Saturday when he was attacked by men with paintball guns while on his delivery route in Germantown, police said.

Around 2 p.m., the 50-year-old postal worker was getting out of his mail truck on Manheim Street near Schuyler when three men, who were between 18 and 20 years old, came at him from either side of his vehicle, according to police.

Without saying a word, the men opened fire. Luckily, their ammo consisted of paintballs and not bullets. Police said the men shot the postal carrier several times in the face, arms and back and shot up the inside of his truck as well.

The suspects then fled in a red Saturn without requesting or trying to take anything from the postman, according to police.
