FedEx driver says no to help fallen elderly man
FREEPORT, TX (KTRK) — The family of a Texas man is outraged after a FedEx driver was captured on video on Saturday refusing to help after the man fell outside his front door.
A Ring doorbell camera in Freeport, Texas recorded the exchange between the 89-year-old man and the employee.
“Hello, help please,” the man could be heard saying. “Give me a hand. I need to get up.”
“I can’t do that, boss,” the driver said from a distance.
The 89-year-old man had fallen approximately 15 minutes before the delivery was made, according to his daughter, Maria Kouches.
“(He) didn’t at least ring the doorbell or call 911!” Kouches wrote in a Facebook post that had been shared more than 480 times by Sunday afternoon. “Thank God he’s OK, but what if he hadn’t been?”
