Footage shared on X shows Suleman Gauba standing behind the vehicle before being struck in the back of the head, causing him to fall. According to KDFW-TV, Gauba and his wife requested an Uber ride from Market Center Boulevard in Dallas. The surveillance video reveals that for over two minutes after entering, the car did not move. Gauba mentioned he told the driver that he couldn&#8217;t sit comfortably in the back seat due to its small size. He claims this prompted the driver to cancel their ride and subsequently assault him as he exited on one side while his wife opened a door on the opposite side. The incident escalated when a large man in a pink shirt followed him out and hit him from behind. Despite Gauba&#8217;s wife&#8217;s attempt to call law enforcement, they left before police arrived, leaving Gauba confused about why he was attacked. No arrests have been made yet, but Uber has been informed of the situation and is communicating with Gauba<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2350861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Untitled-design-27.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4767,36508,3873,14429,42367],"class_list":["post-2350860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-assault","tag-crime-news","tag-elderly","tag-surveillance","tag-uber-driver"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Untitled-design-27.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2350860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2350861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2350860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2350860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2350860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
