According to New York Post, the unnamed woman was on her way to work when the driver allegedly exposed himself to her and began urinating in a plastic container. The incident happened in March this year, when the woman called the Lyft to get from her Fort Lee, NJ home to her job at Mount Sinai West in Midtown.The driver took his p***s out of his pants and began urinating in a plastic container … somewhere on a public road on the westside of Manhattan,” the woman claimed in her Manhattan Supreme Court filing against Lyft and driver.The woman has alleged that the incident left her shocked, angry, and caused lasting depression along with other psychological and emotional distress. She argued in her complaint that the alleged “public lewdness and exposure of himself” amounts to sexual assault.She also added that the driver identified as Luis ”had the apparent ability to cause imminent harmful or offensive bodily contact through the lewd act.”In court documents, she described the behavior as “so outrageous, shocking, abhorrent, and despicable that it exceeded the bounds of decency.”
