According to his arrest report, the victim, who was in a USPS uniform, was walking up to a home to deliver mail when Pinkney “rode his bicycle past her and made his hand into the shape of a firearm, and made a shooting gesture.”

Police said the victim became nervous as Pinkney started calling her derogatory names and telling her to go back to her country.

According to the report, the woman tried to laugh off the comments, but Pinkney then approached her, ripped off her hijab and began to slap and punch her in the face.

The attack caused the victim to bleed from her mouth and sustain scratches on her face, authorities said.

Police said Pinkney also tried to grab the woman’s leg as she tried to get back into the USPS truck, at which time the victim ripped his shirt in order to free herself.

According to the report, the woman told Pinkney she was going to call the police and he told her he would be calling the police, as well
