Huntsville Driver DoorDash stabbed at least 10 times and carjacked by suspected homeless man he tried to help

DoorDash driver is “lucky to be alive” when he was stabbed at least 10 times by a suspected homeless man he tried to help outside a Waffle House before the madman stole the worker’s newly bought car.

Jackson Oltmanns finished his last food run and stopped at a Fort Worth Waffle House for a bite to eat at 2 a.m. when Quindarius Cartwright approached him on March 29, he said on a GoFundMe page.

Cartwright – described by Oltmanns as homeless and possibly on drugs – confronted the 28-year-old driver and asked for food money.

Oltmanns told the 24-year-old beggar that he didn’t have any money to give out but offered to go into the restaurant to order food for the man as an act of kindness, a gesture he says he makes often.

Cartwright launched his brutal knife attack on Oltmanns as he stepped out of the car.

“He tried to kill me, stabbing me at least 10 times. Luckily, I was able to defend myself for most of it,” Oltmanns said on the crowdfunding website.

Cartwright stole Oltmanns 2024 Toyota Camry as he left his victim for dead, choosing to drive to a strip club before he was caught by police.

Oltmanns suffered multiple wounds, including a large gash to his right cheek.

“I thought I was dead. There was so much blood, but luckily, I’m still here,” Oltmanns said.
