Our thoughts and prayers are with the rider as we work to gather the facts. The driver in question has been deactivated from the Uber platform, and we will continue to assist the authorities in any way we can.

Here is what we know at this time:

• The trip in question occurred on February 6th and concluded with driver dropping off the rider at the address where the Philadelphia Police Department 5th District station is located
• The driver has been interviewed by the PPD and was not arrested and continues to cooperate in their investigation
• The driver was affiliated with Uber Philadelphia as an uberX partner
• Upon learning of the incident, we immediately contacted PPD to assist in their investigation and support their efforts in any way we can
• As the investigation continues, the driver’s access to the Uber platform has been suspended
• While we do not know the identity of the victim due the PPD’s privacy policy, our thoughts and prayers are with her
