Bradley Kitchen was outside a Bellevue, Washington, school Friday when he says a postal worker hit him multiple times with her vehicle.
The 55-year-old mail carrier was harassing another parent over where that parent was parked, Kitchen said.
"She was using some vulgar terms, so I kind of leaned out the window and said, 'You can't do that,'" Kitchen said.
It all allegedly happened around 11:15 a.m. Friday. Kitchen said he started taking photographs of the woman so he could get the license plate of her government-issued vehicle.
“She proceeded to drive forward; that's when she hit me the first time, laughing hysterically,” Kitchen said.
Kitchen said the carrier hit him three times and injured a knee that was already in bad shape.
"With that much strength of the vehicle to bend my knee backwards in a brace, she hit me pretty good,” Kitchen said.
The Postal Service said the woman has been carrying mail for nearly three decades, and they've never had an issue with her.
But they said they're extremely concerned about the allegations – and the woman will likely be put on emergency leave as they investigate.
"I would like to see her lose her job because that's unprofessional – completely unprofessional,” Kitchen said.
KIRO-TV in Seattle confirmed with police that the carrier has been mentally committed and was deemed a danger to herself or others.
Neighbors said she had only been on the route for about six months.
