A woman is in custody for the fatal stabbing of a postal worker following a dispute over sandwiches at a Manhattan deli on Thursday, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
The 36-year-old mailman was on duty for the U.S. Postal Service when he stopped at Joe’s Grocery on Lenox Road near W. 118th St. to order a sandwich around 2:30 p.m., cops said.
When the postal worker placed his order, a woman there became enraged, claiming he had cut her in line and the two began shouting at each other, a witness told The News.
“It was over a sandwich,” said Janet Rich, who was in the deli buying coffee when the fight broke out. “It was, ‘I was next. No, I was next.’ It was for nothing.”
Rich said that she and another woman inside the store attempted to intervene, but that neither party appeared willing to stand down.
