A postal worker brutally stabbed his colleague in a Staten Island apartment, according to police sources.
The postman attacked the 26-year-old woman with a pocket knife after arguing with her at the Dongan Hills apartment shortly before 3 p.m., the sources said.
The postal worker reportedly ran from the scene after the attack, fleeing in a black BMW sedan while wearing a USPS jacket.
The duo were off-duty when the violence unfolded in the woman’s fifth-floor apartment near Dongan Hills Avenue and Richmond Road.
Police were called to the scene when the woman told a neighbor to call 911, sources said.
Police discovered her in the lobby with multiple stab wounds to her chest, abdomen, arm and thigh, along with a gruesome trail of blood leading to her apartment.
Medics rushed her to Staten Island University Hospital North, where she was listed in stable condition.
She told police her attacker was working with her at a post office in lower Manhattan, sources said.
The postman has not yet been arrested by the police.
The Post reached out to USPS for comment but did not immediately hear back.
