A USPS mailman faces a new charge after shoving a Jewish boy in an attack caught on camera, as police finally reveal his identity. 

Gabriel Stan, 39, of Stony Point, New York, got handed a felony second-degree attempted assault charge on top of his two initial misdemeanor charges on Friday for his alleged attack on the four-year-old boy.

He was hit with the new charge due to the child’s age being under seven, the Rampo Police Department said. 

The disturbing confrontation unfolded on Thursday evening in Monsey, in Rockland County, about 30 miles north of New York City, where surveillance footage saw the young child approaching a parked mail truck.

The mailman suddenly turned around and forcefully pushed the little boy backwards onto the pavement, video showed. 

The boy fell over onto his back and can be seen scrambling to his feet moments later, picking up his yarmulke, before walking away.

Authorities say the suspect was quickly identified and arrested the following day.

Ramapo Police Department charged him with endangering the welfare of a child and attempted assault in the third degree, both misdemeanors.

He was later released and is expected to appear in court at a later date. The Daily Mail has reached out to Stan for comment. 

Video of the incident, first reported by The Monsey Scoop, captured the moment the situation escalated without warning.

The child had been standing nearby as the postman was placing letters into a communal mailbox. 

Witness accounts and footage suggest the worker began yelling at children in the area before turning his attention to the boy, when suddenly the encounter turned physical.

The footage then shows the mailman forcefully shoving the child to the ground.

Monsey is a community with a large Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish population. Last year, the town of Ramapo, of which Monsey is a part, was named the safest place to live in America.

Local officials reacted quickly as details of the incident emerged.

Ramapo Town Supervisor Michael Specht confirmed he had personally reviewed the footage.

Local politicians were outraged by the actions of the mailman that were caught on camera

‘I have viewed the video depicting an incident involving a physical attack on a small child,’ Specht wrote on X. ‘The content of this video is very disturbing. Ramapo Police have treated this matter with extreme seriousness and have now arrested the suspect.’

New York State Assemblyman Aron Wieder condemned the attack in stark terms.

‘The attack on a four-year-old in Monsey is appalling and deeply troubling, never acceptable under any circumstances,’ Wieder said, thanking local officials and police for their response.

State Senator Bill Weber echoed such anger, saying he had been inundated with concern from residents.

‘I’ve heard from constituents who are deeply alarmed by the assault of a young child in the @TownOfRamapo. I share their concern and outrage,’ Weber wrote. 

‘The suspect has been arrested by @Ramapo_PD. He must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’

Police say the suspect was taken into custody on Friday.

Authorities have not explained what caused the postal worker to target the child.
