Woman reports sexual assault by ride-sharing service driver

 

A 30-year-old woman told police Saturday night that her ride-sharing service driver sexually assaulted her.

Police declined to name the ride-sharing service.

The woman told officers she called for a ride through the app, and a man showed up to give her a ride. She agreed to buy food for him, though it is unclear whether that was part of her ride fare.

When the two were waiting in line to get food at a vendor outside a gas station, the woman told officers the man began rubbing up against her, prodding her with his erection.

She told him to stop, according to police, and he grabbed her by the waist and began grinding on and thrusting against her.

The woman told officer she pushed him off of her, told him to stop and got back in his car. She asked to be taken home.

Police are searching for the suspect.
