NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A woman allegedly robbed an Uber driver in the West Village last month with a taser, authorities said Saturday.
The victim picked up the woman from East 102nd Street and 1st Avenue on Nov. 13 around 1:30 a.m. and was instructed to drop her off on West 9th Street and 6th Avenue, police said.
When they got to the location, the woman took out a taser from her bag and used it multiple times on the driver’s right shoulder, according to officials.
