A DoorDash driver had a terrifying experience in Melton, a suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne, when he was attacked during an attempted carjacking. The incident occurred after he had just delivered food to a woman named Jess and her daughter, Cadence Hart. The driver, who was sitting in his Honda, was approached by four individuals who were armed with weapons, including machetes. According to a witness named Jan Patten, the driver was visibly frightened as the group approached, waving their weapons.
The attackers demanded the driver's car keys and forcefully took them from the ignition. Cadence Hart, who was present during the incident, described how she felt helpless and almost started crying when she saw the attackers. She was unable to go out and help because she was afraid of getting hurt as well. The victim, a 23-year-old man, bravely ran after the group but unfortunately, he was slashed on the hand by one of the attackers. His hand was bleeding profusely and he left a trail of blood on the footpath as he ran.
Cadence Hart commended the driver for his bravery and how he stood up against the attackers. She also expressed her concern for his safety, as it was a very scary situation. The driver sought help from a nearby resident, Jason Burgess, who drove him to a nearby medical clinic. According to staff at the Melton Medical Centre, the victim was in a state of panic when he arrived, screaming for help. They quickly tended to his injured hand before he ran to a nearby police station, located just 200 meters away.
The victim was then taken to Sunshine Hospital where he received further treatment for his injuries. Thankfully, he has since been discharged. However, the four attackers are still on the run and have not been caught by the police. Cadence Hart expressed her shock and horror at the incident, stating that it is scary to think that anyone could be targeted and hurt while simply doing their job.
It is unsettling to know that a person could be in danger even while trying to make an honest living. The safety of workers should be a top priority, and incidents like this highlight the need for better protection and security measures. It is truly a horrible situation, and we can only hope that the perpetrators are caught and brought to justice.
