New video shows a group of women cops say attacked a rideshare driver in the Bronx, punching him and overwhelming him with pepper spray after he told them there were too many people and they ended to take another car, according to authorities.
The NYPD has been looking for several women in the July 8 pre-dawn attack near Melrose Avenue and 158th Street. The driver reported the women beat him up and stole his phone after he told them they needed to get hire another vehicle because of space.
They also allegedly used pepper spray on the 23-year-old driver, police said. The newly released footage shows the women in the back seat of the car. Voices start to elevate. Profanity is used, then comes the pepper spray. The women then start yelling at the man to stop the car as he tries to speak. Loud yelling continues, the context not always clear, until the women get out.
