Mucked up mail

- Thomas Tracy

Brooklyn: I know that President Biden has a lot on his plate: COVID, vaccines, unemployme­nt, the economy, climate change and mending fences with our allies. I do hope that when he has a moment, he can tackle the problem with the U.S. Postal Service. As soon as I get a bill, I write out a check and send it in the mail. Many times, it does not arrive at its destinatio­n. I get hit with late fees and fines. I have to provide my checking account numbers so that they can go into my account and get their money. This is very disturbing to me. I don’t like doing this. Please, Mr. President, fix the USPS.

Police have arrested the man they say tried to rape two Bronx women, officials said Tuesday.

Rashaid Todman, 37, was collared Monday in Mott Haven after someone recognized him from surveillan­ce images of the attack released by police.

Todman (inset) is accused of ambushing a 39-year-old woman from behind in front of a store near Morris Ave. and E. 174th St. about 6:50 p.m. on Saturday, officials said.

Startling surveillan­ce video shows him pulling her pants down, but she fights him off.

During the struggle, the woman rips off Todman’s hat so his entire face is revealed, the video shows.

As Todman moves away, the woman flings his hat back at him. Todman tries to go back toward the woman but she kicks at his shin before he runs away, the video shows.

Todman was also accused of groping a 29-year-old woman’s privates inside a building three blocks north on Morris Ave. about 6 a.m. on Saturday, cops said. That victim also fought off the would-be rapist.

Police charged Todman with three counts of forcible touching, attempted rape and sex abuse.

A Bronx Criminal Court judge ordered Todman held on $150,000 bail at an arraignmen­t Monday night.
