Man stabbed 10 times by Door Dash driver speaks for first time after attack
CERES — A man who was stabbed by a Door Dash driver in a Mcdonald's is speaking out for the first time since the attack.
Casey Rich says he was eating in the Mcdonald's with his 13-year-old daughter when a woman working for Door Dash became upset with a McDonald's employee for not finishing her order fast enough.
Rich says that when he saw how the Door Dash driver was speaking to the McDonald's employee, he told the driver to "get a real job."
"I was calm, I had my daughter with me. It didn't seem like a big deal. You know, like I said, the sassy comment does come out 'get a real job,' but I'm just annoyed, at this point, she's being rude to the whole surrounding," said Rich.
Rich says that a few minutes later, her husband came in and started throwing punches, and the two of them fell to the ground.
They fought on the ground until the husband pulled out a knife.
"I thought he was punching me in the side while I was getting up, but he was stabbing me, and that was kind of it. Once I realized he was doing that, I tried to grab him out the door, then my body collapsed," said Rich.
He was stabbed 10 times, including one wound that punctured a lung. He is back home recovering.
The suspect, 38-year-old Brandon Sells, was later arrested at his home. He wasn't hard to track down because he left his wallet at the scene.
He has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
