A delivery man is reportedly fighting for his life in India after a customer flew into a violent rage when he brought her parcel late.

The 28-year-old victim, an employee of Flipkart, the Indian electronics company, sustained more than 20 stab wounds during the incident in Delhi. The man was set upon on March 24 by an irate woman who became violent when a mobile phone delivery was late to her home, reported The Hindu.

Prior to the attack, the victim reportedly had difficulty in locating the delivery destination. On arriving at the customer’s house he was stabbed multiple times before being left near a drain. “They took away 40,000 Rupees (US$2,600) from his bag, put him in a van and dumped him near a drain at late night,” a police spokesperson said.
