An Uber ride turned into a nightmare for a Central California woman after the driver allegedly tried to kidnap her and showed her nude images of himself during the drive. The incident happened Sunday afternoon in downtown Clovis, a suburb of Fresno. Ty Wood, the public information officer for the Clovis Police Department, confirmed the report to Fox News Digital, saying police responded to an intersection in Clovis around 12:30 p.m. for a report of a possible sex offense.
Uber also issued a statement to Fox News Digital about the situation, acknowledging it was aware of the case and takes reports like this seriously. 'The rider’s report is deeply concerning.
