Uber Driver Takes a Bite Out of Crime

Or at least a bite out of a criminal. CHOMP! Uber driver bit chunk out of would-be carjacker's eyebrow, prosecutor says | CWB Chicago

But, she said, Brown only managed to get the car into neutral, so he had to resort to fighting with the driver, who chomped down on his left eyebrow as they struggled for control of the vehicle.

A private security guard who was working nearby came to the Uber driver’s aid. The guard scuffled with Brown and placed him into custody until police arrived, D’Antignac said.

As for the ultimate outcome, the State's Attorney's office has charged some appropriate charges, but they have a habbit of dropping things because of some type of "adjective" justice, which is very different from regular, old-fashioned Justice.

Prosecutors charged the brow-bitten carjacker, Allen Brown, with vehicular hijacking and misdemeanor battery. He also has a juvenile armed robbery case pending, Assistant State’s Attorney Franka D’Antignac said during his bond court appearance Friday.

Uber drivers (and Lyft) are disarmed by corporate policy. As a result they are often the victims of carjacking.
