Ride-Share Driver Robs Elderly Woman And Drags Her From Car

The 78-year-old woman arranged for an Access-A-Ride on Wednesday to attend her physical therapy appointment. She told police that the driver had refused to let her out of the car after she realized he had gone past her requested drop-off point.

After a verbal exchange, the man stopped the car and dragged the woman by her leg out of his car. A samaritan who witnessed the assault realized the man had stolen the woman’s cell phone. He filmed the altercation between the driver and the elderly woman as she screamed, “call the police! He robbed my phone” and then he shared the video on Twitter.
