The recent Uber driver and female passengers' incident triggered a lot of people.

The shocking video

The footage shows the confrontation between the driver and one of the three women. The 32-year-old man, Subhakar Khadka, claimed she was receiving racist slurs. She coughed on him, pepper-sprayed the driver, and threatened to shoot him.

Khadka shared he was on the way to a local gas station so the lady could buy a mask. Putting on a mask is a mandate of Uber when travelling on ride share. The woman then overreacted and started the assault.

The Uber driver only told them to wear masks and they reacted aggressively.

"What you gonna do?" she is heard shouting before grabbing his mask and throwing it in the front seat. Afterward, the suspects left the car. However, police said, another passenger reached into an open window and sprayed pepper spray into the vehicle toward the driver. The three suspects then fled the scene.

He said,

"I never said anything bad to them, I never cursed, I was not raised that way. I don’t hit people, I am not raised that way, so they were not getting out of my car.”

He said she targeted him due to his immigration status and race. He shared,

"If I was another complexion, I would have not gotten that treatment from them. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, they realized I’m among one of them, so it’s easy for them to intimidate me."
