Mother and daughter allegedly beat rob and stab Daytona Beach man who had offered his help
A man was allegedly stabbed, beaten and robbed early Saturday morning by a mother and daughter who held him captive in their vehicle until he eventually managed to escape, according to a police report.
Daytona Beach police said they responded to a call of a person being shot at 5:41 a.m. in the 500 block of South Caroline Street on Saturday.
The victim told police that he had been attacked by two women and that one stabbed him multiple times. The man was bleeding from the arm and mouth and was missing a front tooth, according to police.
He told police that he was at the Baymont Hotel at 2725 W. International Speedway Blvd. earlier where he saw a woman, later identified as 53-year-old Carla Thomas, working on a sport utility vehicle and he asked her if she needed help.
He was approached by the woman's daughter, Danielle Toliver, 33 who said the two needed help picking up a scooter and offered to pay him for his assistance.
The victim got in the back seat of the SUV with the younger woman and the vehicle drove off. He said he fell asleep and woke up when the woman accused him of stealing her mother's phone.
She then stabbed him and took his iPhone, according to the police report. The mother punched the man in the mouth knocking out a front tooth, the report details.
The victim said he begged the women for 15 minutes to let him out of the car but they refused and told him they were taking him somewhere to kill him, police reported.

The victim said he finally managed to jump out of the vehicle in the 500 block of South Caroline Street and asked someone to call 9-1-1, the report shows.
Thomas, 53, who the victim said was Toliver's mother, was arrested. Thomas was held Tuesday morning at the Volusia County Branch Jail without bail on charges of robbery with a weapon and false imprisonment, court records show.
The victim identified Toliver, 33, as the person who stabbed him in the arm and lip, according to an arrest report.
A warrant has been issued for Toliver's arrest on charges of robbery with a weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon causing bodily harm, and false imprisonment, said Daytona Beach police spokesman Jimmie Flynt on Tuesday.
Court records show that Toliver was arrested in December 2022 on accusations she used a stun gun to rob a security guard she met at the business he was guarding. Charges against her in that crime were dropped on April 28, court papers state.
