An Egyptian girl named Habiba Al-Shamaa sparked controversy after she threw herself from an Uber car for fear of being assaulted by the driver. She suffered fractures and a cerebral hemorrhage that put her into a coma.

Uber is considered relatively safe, given the passenger's ability to know the driver's name and car number. But it seems that the company is not so innocent, as the Egyptian Ministry of Interior confirmed - in a statement - that the accused driver has a criminal record.
