Woman Uber driver injured after her vehicle is pelted with stone

“We are investigating the matter and will soon nab the accused,” he added.

“Later on, she refused to tender any complaint. We contacted her but she said she doesn’t wish to file a complaint. However, we took suo motu cognizance of the issue and a DD entry was made. Based on the entry, a case has been registered under sections of attempted robbery,” added the DCP.

The woman said she was driving near ISBT, and waiting to pick up a passenger when an unidentified man allegedly came near the car.

“He…came by foot. He had a stone and broke the glass of the window. I sustained injuries. He threatened to take my phone and tried snatching it. There was a bus driver nearby who saw all this and came to help me. The man fled after seeing him. I called the police and told them everything” alleged the woman.

An Uber spokesperson said: “What this driver went through is horrifying. We are in touch with the driver and wish her a speedy and full recovery. Her injury-related medical expenses will be covered under Uber’s on-trip insurance provided through a third-party insurance partner. We stand ready to support law enforcement authorities in their investigation.”
