NEW YORK - A man who had stolen a US Postal Service master key was caught in the act of opening mailboxes and attempting to steal the contents before attacking a postal inspector, said Nassau County Police.
On Monday at about 4 a.m., Romy Fabre, 26, of Queens, went into the post office at 185 West John Street in Hicksville while Jahki Hawkins, 22, of the Bronx, waited outside in a 2016 grey BMW. Detectives and postal inspectors tried to arrest him when he began to violently resist and used a sharp object to cut the inspector on his face and body, said police.
