A child and a Jewish camp leader were thrown out of an Uber on a country road in the middle of the night following a discussion about Judaism and Israel that the driver initiated, it has been claimed.
The incident took place just after 3 am on Friday in Staffordshire. The passengers, a Bnei Akiva camp leader and a young camp participant, were on their way back to camp after visiting a nearby hospital.
Following a conversation initiated by the driver about religion, the driver left the pair on the side of the road, according to Staffordshire Police.
In an email sent to parents later that morning informing them of the incident, Bnei Akiva said: “During the taxi journey back to site from the hospital, a conversation was initiated by the taxi driver regarding Judaism and then Israel. After some time, the driver asked the staff member and participant to leave the vehicle and left them on the side of the road. They were able to return safely shortly afterwards with support from Bnei Akiva staff.
