CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Chicago police are looking for the people who beat a ride share driver Wednesday night in Englewood, and stole his car after he asked them not to eat in his vehicle.
According to Chicago police, the 56-year-old ride share driver picked up a male and female around 9:15 p.m. They asked the driver to make an extra stop at a fast food restaurant in 200 block of West Garfield Boulevard, just west of the Dan Ryan Expressway.
When the passengers began to eat, the driver asked them to stop, which led them to start punching the driver, police said. The driver then got out of his orange Ford Escape, and the passengers continued to beat him. The male passenger eventually got in the driver’s seat and drove away with the female, police said.
According to police, the carjackers fled south on Princeton Avenue.
The driver suffered injuries to his face and body, but refused medical attention.
No one is in custody as Area One detectives investigate.
