SAN FRANCISCO – A video of an Uber ride in the US metropolis of San Francisco caused a sensation on the Internet. A young woman could be seen deliberately coughing in the face of the Uber driver.

The Uber passenger’s cough attack in San Francisco caused a stir. Not only because of the ruthlessness of the passengers who refused to wear face masks in the Uber taxi, but also because of the alleged racist background to the attack.

On the 43-second video that the Uber driver Subhakar Khadka recorded himself, three young women were seen in the back seat of his car, the passengers took off their masks in a battle of words and one of the young women coughed in the driver’s face. The woman then tried to grab the driver’s cell phone and tore his mouth and nose protection from the driver’s face. The background to the dispute was, according to Khadkas, to the local news channel KPIX The passengers’ racist motives: “That wouldn’t have happened to me with a different skin color,” said the native Nepalese.

The transport platforms Uber and Lyft reported on Twitter that the accounts of the three passengers had been deleted. On Instagram, the young woman apologized, coughing in Khadka’s face, but explained that she and her friends were afraid because the driver wanted to evict the three women in a strange part of the car.
