“#Woman arrested for attacking Uber driver after refusing to wear mask<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A woman who was caught on video harassing and coughing on a California Uber driver has been arrested, while another woman plans to turn herself in to police, authorities said. <\/p>\n

Las Vegas police nabbed Malaysia King, 24, who faces charges of assault and battery, conspiracy, as well as violating health and safety code for attacking Uber driver Subhakar Khadka on Sunday, according to the San Francisco Police Department<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Khadka recorded the incident which shows King \u2014 who\u2019s sitting in the backseat wearing red \u2014 and another woman, identified by cops as 24-year-old Arna Kimiai, coughing and shouting profanities at him after refusing to wear face masks. <\/p>\n

Kimiai has not yet been arrested, but her lawyers say she plans to turn herself in soon. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re glad to hear that Ms. Kimiai intends to do the right thing and turn herself in to the nearest law enforcement agency, and we hope it happ<\/a>ens promptly,\u201d Lt. Tracy McCray said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe behavior captured on video in this incident showed a callous disregard for the safety and wellbeing of an essential service worker in the midst of a deadly pandemic. We take this conduct very seriously in San Francisco, and we\u2019re committed to ensuring that justice is done in this case,\u201d McCray continued. <\/p>\n

The incident happened after Khadka picked up Kimiai, King and another woman in San Francisco around 12:45 p.m. Sunday. <\/p>\n

Khadka asked one of the women to put on a mask but she refused, so he decided to cancel the ride.<\/p>\n

An enraged Kimiai then can be seen on video yelling at the driver, \u201cF\u2014k the masks!\u201d<\/p>\n

At one point, Kimiai grabs Khadka\u2019s phone from the center dash area and then violently rips off his face mask, footage shows.<\/p>\n
