Elderly Uber driver attacked by passenger in Florida
Duration: 1:17 Views: 4.1K Submitted: 3 days ago Submitted by:
An Uber driver in South Florida is recovering after he was viciously attacked by a passenger.
The lone passenger in the backseat had just been picked up and moments later, without warning, he suddenly attacked the 61-year-old driver.
The attack happened on the express lanes of I-95 in southern Broward County. The trip was supposed to go from Deerfield Beach to Miami International Airport.
Isaiah Norton, 19, was arrested on charges of battery causing bodily harm and obstructing an officer.
The victim, Ruben Carinao was left bruised and with a bloody face.
On the dashcam video the struggle between Norton and the driver appears to go on for several minutes.
But once outside the car, passersby stepped in to help, including an armed off-duty officer.
Doctors checked out the 61-year-old in the hospital. His family says he's lucky to be alive after the violent encounter.
At last check Norton was still in jail.

«these rideshare companies suck. they need to provide vehicles with bullet proof glass and a bullet proof partition between the driver and the passengers.
a company that cares would do this.
the usa is evil. companies are evil. capitalism is evil. the whole system of the usa is evil.
pray it would be overthrown asap.

«The ONLY way I would be an uber/lyft driver, is if I had a bullet resistant shield between the front & back seat, and NO one allowed in the front passenger seat.
Too many crazies out there.»

«When i was a cab driver, I used to keep a 24 inch solid steel torch (with 6 BIG batteries in it) in a holder, stuck to the centre console, just by my right leg. Just for any "emergencies". In three years? Used it many times as a torch, never needed it as a weapon. Guess that makes me a people person LOL»
