A Rockland County mailman\u2019s attack on a 4-year-old Jewish boy<\/a> is not being treated as a hate crime because\u00a0cops don\u2019t believe it had anything to do with the tot\u2019s religion, police told The Post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Shocking video caught the post-office employee allegedly going postal and shoving the child to the ground<\/a> when he came near him while he was working his route in Ramapo last week.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old United States Postal Service worker, Gabriel Stan,\u00a0who neighbors said lives with his parents in Stony Point, was initially charged with endangering the welfare of a child and misdemeanor attempted assault.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Cops then slapped an extra charge of felony attempted assault after outcry from the community.<\/p>\n

The footage shows the youngster approaching the mail carrier, who then shoves the boy so hard that the child\u2019s yarmulke is knocked off his head and he goes flying onto the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

The kid is then seen retrieving his yarmulke and walking away.<\/p>\n

The phone number listed for Stan was not in service, and no one answered the door to his family\u2019s home Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, man! That is crazy,\u201d one of Stan\u2019s neighbors told The Post on Sunday of the situation. \u201cYou sure?
\u201cI have a 10-year-old, and if he ever did anything like that to my kids it would get ugly quick,\u201d the neighbor said. \u201cI am shocked. He never seemed like a guy who\u2019d do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Rep. Mike Lawler (R-Hudson Valley) condemned the incident on X<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"GabrielGabriel Stan, 39, was charged after the shocking footage surfaced. Monsey Scoop<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video is extremely disturbing and outrageous,\u201d he posted. \u201cThere is zero justification for this type of violence and abuse towards a child \u2014 and can be zero tolerance. There must be a complete and thorough investigation by the police and the @USPS<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident occurred in a heavily Jewish Orthodox community in the suburban county, sparking concerns that it was an anti-Semitic attack.<\/p>\n

But Ramapo police said Sunday that the incident was not believed to be a hate crime, although they did not explain why.<\/p>\n

The postal service said in a statement to The Post: \u201cUSPS does not comment on administrative actions regarding it\u2019s employees.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Rockland County mailman\u2019s attack on a 4-year-old Jewish boy is not being treated as a hate crime…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171524,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,10685,9,24,63,129,131,130,58,25995],"class_list":["post-171523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-hate-crimes","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-us-news","tag-us-postal-service"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171523"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171523\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
