When it comes to going above and beyond the call of duty, this takes some beating.

A pizza delivery guy was stabbed in the back – suffering a collapsed lung – then carjacked and still managed to get the takeaway to the customer.

His courage brings to mind the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail movie, who declared 'it's just a flesh wound' after having his arms sliced off by King Arthur.

I suspect this kid is about to make a fortune on Gofundme.

and hopefully get some much needed psychiatric care, for whatever was wrong with him BEFORE the carjacking.

Unless Gofundme suspends lest it hurts the reputation of those that stabbed him.

Not if he turns out to be a Christian.

Handy tip: Say no to a pizza when you don’t know if the topping is blood or tomato sauce.

Dedicated kid, though ...

The delivery might have been the closest place he could get someone to help...Might as well take the pizza to the door, too.

True. But did the people really eat the pizza while waiting for EMS?
Reeks of a Seinfeld episode.

yeah, poor guy wasn’t thinking straight. What a horrific thing to happen. You do the craziest things in crises. I remember when my father had his second (and deadly) aneurysm, I was focused on making sure my customers got their newspapers delivered to them..the mind works in crazy ways
