Initial reports suggest the men were attacked in the street by three Afro-Caribbean men.
Emergency services were called to the scene at 5.11pm, and a police cordon put in place to allow scenes of crime officers to scour the area, including adjoining car parks.
Royal Mail staff were unable to leave or enter the sorting office by vehicle until the cordon was lifted at 7.30pm.
