\n A drunken man attacked a Lyft driver in Florida over his plastic partition to protect himself from COVID-19, putting the man in a chokehold from the backseat, wild video shows.<\/p>\n

The footage released by the Flagler County Sheriff\u2019s Office shows Travis S. Smith, 36, chatting it up with a Lyft driver just after midnight Sunday as he travel<\/a>ed with a friend and his friend\u2019s 7-year-old son.<\/p>\n

The ride app<\/a>ears to be unremarkable at first, but Smith then asks the driver about the plastic partition, saying he \u201creally liked\u201d how well it sealed up the vehicle. The driver, in turn, says he bought it on eBay, the clip shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight, right, so, like, how\u2019d you seal that up?\u201d Smith stammers. \u201cLike, you did that yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I did it myself,\u201d the driver replies before explaining he needed it for protection amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Smith then asks the driver again if he installed the barrier he got \u201coff Amazon,\u201d seemingly unaware that the conversation is going in circles, video shows.<\/p>\n

Smith then accuses the driver of being a \u201cliar\u201d after saying he had seen the same partition in other ride-shares he had taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I think you\u2019re a liar,\u201d Smith says. \u201cHow\u2019d you get this?\u201d<\/p>\n

The car\u2019s interior light then turns on as Smith accuses the driver of putting it on, video shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you open the door, man?\u201d the driver asks, to which Smith mutters he had not.<\/p>\n

Smith then puts his hand on the interior light while appearing to talk to his friend. He then tears down the plastic partition and attacks the driver, putting him in a chokehold from the backseat, the footage shows.<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s friend yells \u201cget that motherf\u2013ker\u201d as he gets out of the car with his young son, who is crying by that time. Smith then hops out of the car as the driver yells for someone to call police, according to the clip.<\/p>\n

Smith later told responding deputies the fight broke out after the Lyft employee started driving erratically, claiming he attacked the man to protect himself, his friend and the man\u2019s young son.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis drunk attacked an innocent driver and put numerous lives in danger,\u201d Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement. \u201cThese rider-share services can quickly become dangerous and drivers should be cautious of who they let in their vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The driver had minor injuries after the attack, including a hematoma to his forehead, deputies said.<\/p>\n

Smith was charged with battery and child abuse for putting the child\u2019s life in danger in a moving car. He was released after posting $7,500 bond, deputies said.<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s friend and his son, meanwhile, got a courtesy ride to their hotel following the incident, sheriff\u2019s officials said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
