Maskless passengers assault Uber driver who refused them a ride
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A group of women can be seen in a recently released video assaulting a San Francisco Uber driver who refused them a ride because they were not wearing masks.
The incident occurred on Sunday after 32-year-old Subhakar Khadka, who is of South Asian decent, requested that one maskless woman put on a face covering and drove to a gas station so that she could purchase one. When she refused, he asked that all of the women exit his vehicle.
The video shows one of the women then ripping her mask off yelling, "F--- the masks!" at Khadka and coughing at him. She also reached into the front seat and removed his mask from his face at one point and snatched his phone away from him.
UBER RIDERS COUGH ON, ASSAULT, PEPPER SPRAY DRIVER
Driver Subhakar Khadka, who is South Asian, says he believes he was targeted because of his race. He picked up 3 women in the Bayview yesterday afternoon on San Bruno Avenue. https://t.co/Tzr7kTfyKQpic.twitter.com/f8PiHDZ9CZ

After Khadka ended their ride and the women exited the car, one reached back into an open window and pepper sprayed into the car and toward him, police told SFGate.
"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," Khadka told a local CBS news station.
Uber reportedly suspended the women from accessing the service in the future, calling the incident appalling.
"The rider no longer has access to Uber," the rideshare service said in a statement to KPIX 5.
Uber's community guidelines have a "no mask, no ride" policy during the coronavirus pandemic, and the company says it does not tolerate threatening or rude behavior.

How do you figure that?
they didn't have their birth certificates with them ...
Am I wrong in that it seems like this is almost always women? I don't know why that would be a thing. It just looks that way.
I notice these women aren't being called "Karen." I guess we don't do that for women of color in liberal cities.
I do t bother with the Karen label, I just go straight to “asshole”, “bitch”, “cunt” etc.
Good on you. That's as it should be.
See my comment @5.2
The woman I interacted with was black and I called her a KAREN to her face. Save me your "We don't do that in liberal cities" crapola. I also once called a black gentleman a Karen when he was out of control over parking in a handicap spot and decided to walk up on me when I had not said one thing about his parking.
Why do you feel it's necessary, clever, or cool to call people "Karen?" Do you not have any friends named Karen?
Actually, I have a cousin named Karen who is seriously considering changing her name legally to her middle name because of the stigma now associated with that name. WTF do you prefer I call someone like that woman then who put my life at risk...c**t, shithead, ahole, or just the standard really bad name....N****r?
I would think that would give a person pause before using an extremely common name as a slur.
I suggest whatever you would have called that person before "Karen" became popular so very recently. We have hall managed without it for a long time.
What a bunch of cunts. Press charges against all of them. I do not understand why people act like such idiots when it comes to face masks.
These women are bullies. We don't assume women could be bullies, generally, but here we have 3 women and 1 guy with his back to them, so they have the advantage. And I'm sure they assume that because they are women, there is no chance he'll punch them in the mouth like they deserve.
As a "tomboy" that's only 4'11" and while in high school weighed roughly 100lbs... I can promise you that I would never doubt that women could be bullies. Women can most certainly be bullies.
I was 5'9" in the sixth grade and I could have been a bully but I went the other direction and protected any classmate that would get bullied.
That's very nice of you.
My father had a lot to do with how I became a protector instead of a bully. I would have rather been your height growing up instead of a giant in a family of mostly 5'4" and under. I always looked like Snow White and 50 demented dwarfs at family reunions.
I do have one half sister who is 5'10", but her father was 6'5" tall. My dad was only 5'11" and his side of the family had few if any tall people in it, so no one can explain why I am tall.
Milk man?
Just kidding. You never know... you might have a great grandparent that was really tall and you just happened to get those genes.
Any of them who have UBER accounts will find that they no longer do and a heads up will be forwarded to LYFT.
during my nightly before bed reading , i stumbled across a blurb in my news feed last night that One of these "ladies" either on twitter or in an interview ( cant remember now) stated they would simply use Lyft from now on , Im thinking it had to be twitter because Lyft responded to the comment with that they were banned there as well.
Aw ... a tit for tat post ... yawn!
Who is tat and why do they need a tit?
Lots of stupid, obnoxious and immature people out there.
Indeed. Especially over something as simple as wearing a mask.
Hmmm I suspect the driver won't be giving these passengers a good rating.
