ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Police in North Carolina say a woman reported being sexually assaulted by a man posing as an Uber driver, and they are urging residents to exercise caution when ordering a ride-sharing service.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that police said the attack occurred early on July 27. Asheville police spokeswoman Christina Hallingse declined to specify a location.
On its Facebook page, the Asheville Police Department advised residents planning to use a ride-sharing service to double check the car to make sure it was the one they ordered. They also suggested sending the ride status to a friend or family member, ride in the back seat and not pay with cash.
Hallingse said the attack remains under investigation.
