An American tourist claims that he was kidnapped and left for dead at the end of his vacation to Mexico last February. After visiting Cancun with his wife, Dustan Jackson said he decided to call a cab to take him to buy chewing tobacco while they waited for their flight back to the U.S.

His driver said he knew a store that sold snuff, but the tourist claims he was actually kidnapped. Jackson said he was ambushed by machete-wielding muggers as soon as he got out of the car.

He said blacked out during the attack. "I get out and I'm like, okay, as I'm walking in... then boom, lights out," Jackson recalled to FOX 11 Los Angeles. "Next thing I know, I am waking up in a ditch." Jackson says that he was ambushed by machete-wielding attackers as soon as he got out of the car in Mexico.

Instead of hitting it, they hit the bottom of my foot and then my foot just flapped around," Jackson explained. "They were trying to cut all my tendons and leave me for dead." The assailants allegedly cut up his foot and left him for dead in a ditch, where he stayed for 36 to 72 hours.
