Authorities are looking for a woman who forced her way into an Uber vehicle as the driver was picking up a passenger — then punched the driver and pushed him out of his car before driving it away herself, according to police.
The 52-year-old driver was picking someone up on 86th Avenue in Queens around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10, when the woman grabbed at the open door. Video shows her hang on and fling herself in the vehicle.
Cops say she punched the driver in the face and body multiple times and bit him on the back before throwing him out. She sped off west on 86th Avenue, then collided into multiple parked cars and a tree, police say.
The woman ran off in an unknown direction. The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Police released surveillance video of the suspect (above).
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
