Soon after I pulled up to the Greenfield Post Office on my old bicycle, an inebriated older man came up from behind me, grabbed my arm, tugged my hair, and tried to take my bike lock. As I broke away and headed up the steps, a young police officer approached and said to the fellow, “I got a call that you’re bothering people.”
Those were the last words I heard as I went through the door. When I exited the building, no one was in sight. I hopped on my bike and went on my way. I’m grateful to the officer who acted professionally and calmly.
