Grumpy delayed postman had altercation with Tour de France officials

A frustrated postman in Utrecht, the Netherlands, had a brief altercation with Tour de France officials on Saturday morning.



Unhappy at his route being blocked, he threw his orange panniers full of post, followed by his bicycle over a barrier. He then pulled the barrier down. "I'll knock your teeth out," the English-speaking postman says to one female official.

Following a conversation with his manager, the postman has indicated that he regrets his actions and that he wishes to apologise to the volunteers he threatened. PostNL speaks of an overheated response.

"This is inexcusable but our employees have been working for days in the heat and a complex traffic situation. Moreover, this man had taken extra work of his colleagues in addition to his own route and he was already 20 minutes late due to detours."

If you b start a sentence "this is inexcusable" you can't continue with "but". He should be sacked and face criminal charges and there is no but.
