Uber driver pulls gun on passenger who allegedly tried to take control of car: Police

An Uber driver in Pittsburgh pulled a gun on an allegedly drunk passenger who he claims tried to take control of his car.

Robert Gratzmiller said he picked up a couple in the city's Beechview neighborhood on Sunday night, and one of the passengers apparently became irate over a malfunctioning window.

"He belligerently started yelling at me," Gratzmiller told Pittsburgh ABC affiliate WTAE in a recent interview. "I was like, that's it, I'll cancel the ride."

Gratzmiller claimed the man then spat in his face and tried to get in the driver's seat of the car. That's when Gratzmiller says he pulled out his firearm, forcing the man to back away, according to WTAE.
