Georgia postman wins hero award

A Georgia postal carrier has received a heroism award for assisting a police officer. Nathaniel Roberson of McDonough was on his way to work last year when he saw a police officer struggling to subdue a man who had become unruly during a traffic stop. Roberson, who delivers mail in East Point near Atlanta, helped wrestle the man to the ground and kept the suspect's arms pinned behind him until backup arrived. Roberson was among several letter carriers around the country to receive the award from the National Association of Letter Carriers.
