A FedEx worker is body slammed then robbed while delivering a package in Kingsbridge Tuesday, the NYPD says.

Police say it happened around 3 p.m. The unknown man got into a fight with the 34-year-old FedEx worker before ripping a package he was trying to deliver out of his hands.

Additionally, FedEx offers customers innovative visibility technologies to give our customers added peace of mind when it comes to the reliable delivery of their packages. Tools such as FedEx Delivery Manager, Estimated Delivery Time Window, and the FedEx mobile app offer customers more control over the timing and location of their deliveries.”
