Surveillance video shows man stabbing Philadelphia Uber driver
A Philadelphia Uber driver is recovering after being stabbed by a bystander while waiting to pick up a passenger. The suspect remains at large.
Philadelphia cops are hunting a knife-wielding man -- identifiable by a missing front tooth -- who was captured on video stabbing an Uber driver in the chest last month during a terrifying attack the driver survived "by the grace of God."
The assault took place around 5 a.m. on Feb. 15 in the Port Richmond neighborhood, the Philadelphia Police Department said in a news release.
The 55-year-old victim was sitting in a vehicle, waiting to pick up a passenger when the unknown man walked up to the car, reached in through the driver's side window and stabbed him multiple times, officials said.
