A serious incident reportedly took place in Monsey, New York, involving a USPS worker and a young boy who is said to be four years old. The worker has been accused of roughly pushing the child.
The video of the encounter was shared online and quickly gained traction, with many viewers noting that the boy is Jewish. It has since been viewed by millions. According to the footage, the incident appeared to happen while the USPS worker was on duty, though there is no audio in the video to provide context for what led up to the moment.
In the clip, the boy was seen with a group of friends. For unclear reasons, he approached the USPS worker. That was when the incident occurred, with the worker appearing to push him to the ground. The video ended with the boy getting back up and walking away with his friends.
Online, users also shared what was described as a statement from a police department. According to it, the individual involved was located and is reportedly facing charges of endangering the welfare of a child and attempted assault in the third degree.
The video led many people to question why the worker would act that way toward a child. Some viewers believed the incident may have been targeted because the boy is Jewish and referenced the broader context in New York. Others argued that the focus should remain on the fact that a child was involved, regardless of background.

The video quickly sparked strong reactions online, with many people criticizing the worker’s behavior. “Wow. USPS will hire any idiot now. I’m sure he was a DEI hire,” one person wrote. Another added, “You’ve got to be kidding me? I’m not a fan of the @USPS as a federal agency but in my entire life I’ve never met a nasty postal worker. This guy’s a psycho.”
Others focused on the broader issue of child safety rather than the boy’s background. “Jewish or not, no child should be treated that way by an adult. Keep religion out of it, because that only highlights that Jewish kids will get media coverage and protection, while it should be the same for any child, no matter what their religious background or color is,” one commenter wrote.
The reactions showed a mix of anger toward the incident and differing views on how it should be interpreted.
Some commenters called for more serious consequences, including federal charges. “I know USPS isn’t a regular Federal agency, but they are Federal adjacent . . .surely something can be done about this at the Federal level, given that it’s clearly a hate crime? @HarmeetKDhillon? Needless to say, anyone who assaults a four year old child needs to be locked up. Sick in the head,” one person wrote.
Others took a different view and speculated that there may have been more to the situation. “You can see that the other Jews were instigating him to do something to the mail carrier,” another commenter said.
The video left many people shocked, raising questions about what led up to the incident and what consequences the worker may face.
