*We bet you might think twice about being a Uber or Lyft driver after you see what happened to Eduardo Madiedo who was beaten by a passenger named “Georgie.”
The incident went down this past Thursday (05-23-19) and police are still looking for the assailant who attacked Madiedo for not driving faster to get to a Queens hospital.
The vicious beating of Madiedo was caught on camera as he drove the the man and an unidentified older woman to Mount Sinai Hospital in Astoria, reports NBC.
As you can see in the video, the man/suspect appears to not be feeling well for a while rested his head on the woman’s lap while moaning and groaning as Madiedo drove.
As time passed and the drive continued, the suspect became agitated, then removed what appears to be his hoodie and asked Madiedo to “driver faster.”
Madiedo responded by letting the man know that he couldn’t go faster because of traffic.
“Well I would have been in that right lane and found that hole right there,” the suspect said before cursing and launching an all-out attack on Madiedo.

The suspect leaned forward and repeatedly punched the driver with both hands, prompting the woman to plead with him to stop.
“Oh my god, please stop. Georgie, oh my god,” the woman cried out.
The passengers left the vehicle, a 2017 Ford Explorer, but “Georgie”the suspect wasn’t through. He came back to land a few more blows on Madiedo through the window before fleeing.
As far as Madiedo is concerned, we can only assume he’s OK because he refused medical attention And if you’re wondering what we’tre wondering, he told NBC he’s nor sure if he’ll continue to drive for Lyft.
