AND she said that she would not use Uber anymore since the incident but Lyft also has banned her.

I am so glad these people are being forced to face the consequences of their actions

".A woman who was seen on video coughing and berating an Uber driver has reportedly been arrested by San Francisco police.

Malaysia King, 24, turned herself in to Las Vegas Police on charges of assault with a caustic chemical, assault and battery, conspiracy and violation of health and safety code, KCBS Radio reports.

The other woman, 24-year-old Arna Kimiai, communicating with officers through her attorney, has yet to do so.
