North Texas DoorDash driver stabbed, carjacked by suspect he was trying to help

FORT WORTH, TX - During the night on Sunday, April 6th, a DoorDash driver said that he thought he was going to die when he saw his wounds after being stabbed and carjacked.

According to FOX 4, 28-year-old Jackson Oltmanns said he was stabbed by someone he was trying to help overnight on Sunday. Oltmanns was waiting on a to-go order at a Waffle House located off West Rendon Crowley Road in South Fort Worth when he said that someone knocked on his car window for money.

Oltmanns decided to order the man some food. Later, the Forth Worth Police Department (FWPD) identified that man as Quindarius Cartwright. Oltmanns said, "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. 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."

Cartwright stabbed Oltmanns in the face and chest. Otlmanns was able to fight the suspect off, but then Cartwright stole his car. He took the car for a joyride and ended up at a strip club in Fort Worth before being arrested nearby. Cartwright has been charged with aggravated robbery. His bond has been set at $150,000.

Thankfully, Oltmann is expected to survive his injuries. Video of his recovery shows his swollen face and stitches. He said, "[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. 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 like it was really bad."

Otlmanns said he recently bought his 2024 Toyota Camry and is working several jobs, including DoorDash, which is the job he was doing the night he was stabbed by Cartwright, whom he was trying to help.

Oltmann's said, "He definitely hit something pretty good, and it's messed up the wheel. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked for money by homeless people or just people 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."

According to the New York Post, Oltmann said he was stabbed at least 10 times by Cartwright. He said, "He tried to kill me, stabbing me at least 10 times. Luckily, I was able to defend myself for most of it." Oltmann described Cartwright as homeless and possible on drugs the night he was confronted by the suspect for money.
