Cellphone video shows the moments Madeline Sierra said she was attacked by a postal worker in March 2023.

She was knocked to the ground and ended up at the hospital with a concussion and other injuries.

"I'm still suffering with the pains, I can barely walk upstairs," said Madeline Sierra, of Flatbush. "I'm always looking over my back."

Sierra spoke to News 12 after learning her alleged attacker, Jessica Griffin, is now facing charges again - this time for stabbing a 67-year-old man in the same neighborhood, while on the job last week.

"I was crying when they told me, when I saw that, I couldn't believe it," said Sierra. "I don't think that should ever happen again."

Griffin is now charged with assault and resisting arrest, after police say she stabbed a man in the stomach.

Luis Lamboy spoke exclusively with News 12 after the attack, questioning why Griffin was allowed to continue working as a mail carrier.

"In most places, if you have violence like that, you're fired, you're terminated," he said. "You're not working there again."

According to the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, the 2023 case is sealed.

The United States Postal Service would not say if Griffin faced any disciplinary action following the 2023 incident, but a spokesperson said she is still on the payroll, but inactive.

Griffin is out on bond.
