He said that the woman in red pepper sprayed him "like a roach."
An Uber driver in San Francisco, who is South African, was assaulted by passengers as she refused to wear a mask. The appalling experience was recorded on camera and went viral on social media.
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.
"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."
The female passengers are arrested
After the incident, Uber has banned that passenger. The company said in an email,
"The behavior seen in the video is appalling. The rider no longer has access to Uber."
Meanwhile, one of them is identified to be Malaysia King. The 24-year-old was under arrest in Las Vegas recently, according to San Francisco police. Another 24-year-old woman, Arna Kimiai, communicated via her legal counsel that she is planning to turn herself in.
The third woman is still under investigation.
