A London Uber driver has filed a complaint with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director over an interaction with a London police officer.
The driver, Shane De Souza, says he was delivering for Uber Eats in the early morning hours of Oct. 12, when he came upon a car crash at the intersection of Highbury Avenue and Hamilton Road.
Police had not arrived at the scene yet, he says, so he called 911 and flagged the intersection for Uber so other drivers could avoid the area.
About two hours later, De Souza says he was directed to pick up an order at the McDonald’s near the same intersection. To get there, he says he took care to avoid the Highbury-Hamilton intersection, confirmed by his GPS log from Uber which he shared with CTV News.
After picking up the order, De Souza says he turned north on Highbury, and was confronted by police.
“You trying to get arrested?” he says they asked him, aggressively.
