(CNN)An Arizona man has been arrested and charged after pointing a gun at a DoorDash delivery man, Mesa Police confirm.
Dimitri Mills said he had just pulled up to an apartment complex in Mesa, Arizona, on Sunday when a man confronted him with a handgun, Mills told CNN.
"When I exited my vehicle, he had his gun drawn to me," Mills said.
"I knocked on the customer's door and let her know that her order was outside and that we need help because a guy had pulled a gun out on me," Mills added.
The police report on the incident, which identifies the armed man as Valentino Tejada, says several witnesses "observed the defendant holding a handgun and telling the victim to stop 'stalking him.'"
Both Mills and the police report explain that he told Tejada several times to that he meant no harm and was just delivering food.
After Mills made his delivery, Mills said Tejada was blocking him.
"The guy was in between me and the car and wouldn't let me go past him," he said.
As the standoff played out in the parking lot of the apartment complex, residents, at Mills urging, called the police.
