Abbey Thomas filed her suit against both Uber driver Abul Hassan and the car service app itself in state court over a July 28 ride that ended with the shaken passenger making a death-defying leap from the car, landing hard on the street and rolling to a stop.
Thomas booked the Uber at 2 a.m. for a short ride from Lexington Ave. and E. 21st St. to her hotel a few blocks away, to avoid the rain and stay safe in the early morning hours.
Apparently, the ride was not worth Hassan’s time and he angrily tried to kick Thomas out of his car, according to the suit filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
