(Central News Agency reporter Huang Chiao-wen, Taipei, June 4) A man surnamed Liu in Miaoli County, claiming dissatisfaction with the noise from loading and unloading at the Zhunan Post Office, attacked a contract driver surnamed Yang with a kitchen knife today. The driver was seriously injured and later died. Chunghwa Post expressed deep condolences and stated it will cooperate with the police to clarify the case and do its utmost to assist the family with funeral arrangements.
Chunghwa Post explained in a text message that the Zhunan Post Office, under the Miaoli Post Office, reported at 1:35 p.m. today that Liu, who had previously sued the Zhunan Post Office over noise, was waving a kitchen knife and shouting at the post office from his home. The office manager surnamed Zhan then reported the incident to the police. However, around 4 p.m., Liu attacked the contract driver Yang.
Chunghwa Post pointed out that Liu had long been dissatisfied with the noise from mail loading and unloading at the Zhunan Post Office and had sued the office. The court investigated relevant evidence, and the Environmental Protection Bureau reported to the court that measurements found no decibel levels exceeding the standards set by the Noise Control Act. Liu withdrew the lawsuit before the verdict.
Regarding this incident, Chunghwa Post expressed deep condolences to the driver Yang and condolences to his family. It will cooperate with the police to clarify the case and do its utmost to assist the family with funeral arrangements.
The Taiwan Postal Industry Union also posted on Facebook earlier, stating that during a previous labor-management meeting, a proposal was made for the company to provide self-defense tools such as pepper spray, stun guns, and defense batons. The company had reserved the proposal due to legal concerns. The union questioned whether these tools would have provided a better chance of survival if they had been issued today, and therefore demanded that the postal company provide protective equipment.
