An Uber driver is speaking out after he was coughed on, then assaulted after the passengers he picked up refused to wear a masks. The passengers were picked up in Hunters Point. The Uber driver claims he offered to stop at a gas station so the passenger could purchase a mask. This is when things turned ugly were the driver was coughed on, the ladies attempted to snatch his phone, then assaulted the driver. Unfortunately, the driver feels the attack happened because he was Asian.
Per on Instagram:
Subhakar is from Nepal and has been driving for Uber for 3 years.
He told me was picking up three women in the Bayview yesterday afternoon and noticed one did not have a mask.He asked one to put on a mask and he says they started yelling racial slurs and taunting him.⠀
Subkahar stops the car and says he asked the women to get out. They refused. So he pulls into a gas station so the woman without a mask can buy one.
Despite cancelling their ride, the women do not get out. This video is from when they refused to leave and “they started to threaten me” and taking off their masks and coughing and calling him names. One even tries to steal his phone.
Eventually the women open the door and get out of the car.
Subhakar says he has dealt with this kind of behavior a LOT during his time as a driver but this is just next-level. He has filed a police report & I confirmed details with police.
UPDATE: an @uber representative sent me a statement saying “The behavior seen in the video is appalling. rider no longer has access to Uber.”
“I don’t feel like working right now...I’m really disturbed.”
When ever someone resorts to using ethnicity to fuel their argument, it exposes your lack of intelligence. It's sad to see this kind of behavior over a mask! Bay Area, we need to do better! Watch the entire video below
