CARMEL MOUNTAIN RANCH, Calif. — A United States Postal Service supervisor was slashed in the head by one of his drivers Friday evening outside of a post office in Carmel Mountain Ranch, authorities said.
The incident occurred around 5:47 p.m. outside of a United States Postal Service building at 11251 Rancho Carmel Drive, the San Diego Police Department confirmed with FOX 5.
When police arrived on scene, they found a man with a deep cut to his head.
“During our investigation, we came to learn that there was an argument between the supervisor and an employee of the USPS facility during that time a knife was produced,” SDPD Officer Darius Jamset Jee said.
Jee says the employee, a USPS driver, slashed the supervisor and then took off.
The victim went to the hospital for a knife cut to the head, but he is no recovering at home, police said.
Authorities are currently searching for the attacker who is described as a man in his 40s with black hair, standing 5 feet 9 inches and weighing 230 pounds.
