When Uber driver Edward Caban accepted a fare in Newport Beach from rider Benjamin Golden Friday night, chances are he didn’t know it would end with a few quick punches upside his head, a couple violent tugs of his hair, and an attempt to slam his head through his driver-side windshield.
But dashcam footage Caban uploaded to YouTube seems to show just that. In the video, titled “Uber driver pepper sprays drunk passenger,” Caban and Golden can be heard arguing about directions. Golden frequently hiccups. Caban, knowing he’s about to kick Golden out of his car, turns his camera around from a street view and into his cab at just after the two-minute mark, and calmly pulls over into the parking lot of shopping center located at 1835 Newport Boulevard in Costa Mesa, California.
