Rideshare driver attacked and robbed during early morning trip.

In the early hours of the morning in Brisbane's south-west, a rideshare driver had a terrifying encounter. According to police, the 33-year-old man was threatened and robbed by his passengers while on a job at around 2:25am on Arrabri Avenue in Mount Ommaney. The assailants demanded the driver's belongings and even took off with his car.

To make matters worse, the driver was also physically assaulted in the back of the head while he was operating his vehicle. It's a scary thought to imagine being attacked while simply trying to do your job. It's lucky that the driver was able to pull over safely and hand over some of his personal items to the suspects.

Unfortunately, the thieves also made off with the man's white 2020 Toyota Camry, which has Queensland registration 033 GY4. The police are now on the lookout for any witnesses or potential CCTV footage from the area around the time of the incident. Any information could be crucial in bringing these criminals to justice.

This is not the first time that a rideshare driver has been targeted in a violent attack. Just last month, a man in Melbourne survived a bite from a venomous snake while working as a rideshare driver. It's a sobering reminder of the dangers that can come with this line of work. Our thoughts go out to the victim of this frightening ordeal and we hope that the perpetrators are swiftly apprehended.
