PITTSBURGH (AP) – Police in the Pittsburgh suburbs say they’re investigating a woman’s claims that an Uber driver made unwanted sexual advances.
Ross Township police say the woman reported the incident about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday.
The woman says the driver started making advances while driving her to a restaurant. The driver allegedly stopped the vehicle, but the woman says she pushed him a way and he continued the ride to the restaurant where she got out and called 911.
