DoorDash Driver Allegedly Stabbed More Than 10 Times During Carjacking by Man He Offered to Help

• A DoorDash delivery driver in Texas claims that a man attacked him outside a restaurant in south Fort Worth on March 31
• Driver Jackson Oltmanns, 28, alleges that he encountered a man in a Waffle House parking lot and offered to buy him some food
• He claims that, as he got out of his car, the man then stabbed him and attempted to steal his vehicle

A Texas food delivery driver is recovering after he was attacked outside a restaurant — by a man he offered to help.

According to reports from local affiliate station Fox 4 and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 28-year-old Jackson Oltmanns had just finished delivering food for DoorDash in south Fort Worth at around 2 a.m. local time on March 31.

Oltmanns was in a parking lot of a Waffle House on West Rendon Crowley Road, and was preparing to go inside, when a man — identified by the outlets as 24-year-old Quindarius Cartwright — allegedly approached him and asked for money.

In a GoFundMe campaign, Oltmanns alleges that he told the man that he did not have cash, and instead offered to buy him some food. As he got out of his car, the man allegedly stabbed him and attempted to steal his car.

“He told me he was just trying to get some food, you know, acting out of my good nature and just trying to be nice,” Oltmanns told Fox 4. “I opened my car and was going to get him some food, and literally the second I open my door to step out, he just starts stabbing me.”

In his GoFundMe post, the DoorDash driver alleges that he was stabbed “at least 10 times.”

Fort Worth Police told the Star-Telegram that they arrived at the scene just before 3 a.m.

Oltmanns had sustained cuts to his face, and his car — a 2024 Toyota Camry, per Fox 4 — had been stolen, police told the Star-Telegram. Medical personnel treated the man at the scene for his injuries.

In a photo shared on GoFundMe, Oltmanns showed that his face and clothes had been bloodied in the incident.

“[I] genuinely thought I was going to die, it was so much blood. I walked in Waffle House, and they were freaking out. I mean, I’m sure it’s probably a traumatic thing for anyone to watch,” Oltmanns told Fox 4. “Most of the stab wounds, like to the body, weren’t really too bad, it was just when he stabbed me in the face that it was really bad.”

Police told the Star-Telegram that Cartwright was later arrested on the 2400 block of Meacham Boulevard. Oltmanns’ car was recovered, the delivery driver told Fox 4.

“He definitely hit something pretty good, and it’s messed up the wheel,” Oltmanns told the outlet, referring to the damage to his car.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked for money by homeless people or just people out on the streets, and typically, good nature is just to want to do a good thing for them. But I learned that night you’ve got to be very careful about who you’re willing to help out because sometimes they will take advantage of that good nature,” he added.

Tarrant County court records viewed by PEOPLE show that Cartwright was charged with aggravated robbery and is currently being held on a $150,000 bond.
