A POSTMAN was taken to hospital after a masked man attacked him on his way to work.

The 53-year-old was walking in Southfield Road, in Ponders End, when he became aware that he was being stalked by another man who had emerged from an alleyway shortly before.

The postie’s worst fears were confirmed as the trailing thug launched a violent ambush to snatch his personal property.

In the struggle that followed, the attacker, who had covered his face behind a black mask, drew a kitchen knife and stabbed his victim.

He then fled the scene empty-handed towards Hertford Road, leaving the man bleeding on the ground.

He was treated at hospital and has since been discharged.

A spokesman for Royal Mail stated that he was not carrying any items of post when he was attacked.

* Anyone with information about the incident, which took place at 5.15am last Friday, is urged to call DC James Charalambous on 8345 4527.

Because it would suit royalmail's purpose if he did die!. But may i send my best wishes and hope he get's better soon. And no effort is spared to catch the thug responsible.

Because we are simply nubers on a Balance Sheet to them. Surely everyone knows by now, that RM couldn't care less about us.

Anyone on here, know the victim?
If so, how is he?
The article says that he was discharged from Hospital. But nothing about how he's coping with the trauma of being attacked.
