3 people arrested for separate attacks on postal workers in Fresno

The Fresno Police Department announced that three people have been arrested for two unrelated attacks on U.S. Postal employees.

One of the suspects is identified as Brett Thomas, and the other two are teenagers

This comes after federal workers have been targeted in three separate violent encounters in less than a week.

Police say Thomas was taken into custody for threatening a postal worker with a box cutter yesterday afternoon at Cornell and Maroa.

It happened after his dog was pepper-sprayed by the carrier following an aggressive encounter.

The two teens were taken into custody following an incident on Tuesday.

Police say the two teens assaulted the postal worker in an attempted robbery at Marks and Dakota.

The search is still on for a third suspect who attacked a postal worker last week in Central Fresno, taking their wallet, keys and phone.
