A potato chip deliveryman was arrested after he allegedly stabbed his co-worker several times.
The victim, a 23-year-old man who works for Herr’s Snacks, told police he was driving up to his company’s headquarters on the 7500 block of Brewster Avenue in Philadelphia Friday around 1:45 p.m. with 21-year-old Tamaron Jones. Jones worked for a temporary agency and was assigned to Herr’s about two weeks ago, officials said.
As the two were driving, Jones allegedly pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed the man multiple times. The victim was eventually able to escape from the Herr’s truck, police said.
The victim suffered cuts to his right eye and right arm as well as puncture wounds to the back of his head, stomach area and leg, police said. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital where he was treated and released after receiving stitches.
Jones, who police say had never previously worked with the victim, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, possessing an instrument of crime, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. The victim told police he’s unsure what prompted the attack and that the two men had never gotten into any arguments or disagreements prior to the incident.
