An armed DoorDash driver turned the tables on a couple of would-be carjackers last week in a Philadelphia suburb.
The driver arrived just after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to deliver food at the Lynnewood Gardens Apartments in the 1900 block of Humphrey Merry Way in Cheltenham Township, WCAU-TV reported, citing police.
Delivery drivers ‘feel the need to arm themselves for their own personal protection, and it’s incidents like this that kind of reinforce that philosophy.’
It was at that point that two people — one with a gun — confronted the DoorDash driver, police told the station.
The driver told police one of the suspects demanded his keys, after which the driver threw them to the ground, WCAU reported.
The tables turnPolice said the driver — armed with a legally purchased gun and a permit to carry — soon heard a gunshot and fired back, the station said.
The two suspects ran off, but WCAU said a K-9 found 18-year-old Divine Allen Hargrove hiding near a garage.
