Allegations
This video shows one side of an argument I had with an Uber driver two weeks ago after he refused to pick me up on the basis of my religon.
What you don’t see in the video is that the driver had made a number of offensive anti-Semitic remarks that provoked my response.
I am not proud of my reaction to his discrimination and I regret my choice of words.
Shortly after the verbal altercation, I filed a complaint with the Ann Arbor Police Department and they are now dealing with the issue.
The Uber driver, Artur Zawada, posted a statement on YouTube (reproduced verbatim): [2]
This is 4th time that I have been harassed by this rider and his friends.
Nov. Dec. and twice in March.
I told him on 3rd occasion that I requested Uber to banned him but he is/was using friends accounts.
Told him and his friends that I will not take them and that he/they need to get out of my car.....
For that I was falsely accused, called names etc. 4th time...
Rider knew from Uber application who is the driver.
He had option to cancel to avoid any issues but he/they proceeded to abuse, harrase, belittle and provoke like kindergarten thugs.
Jake's father is New York City real estate magnate Steven Croman. The younger Croman works for his father. [6]
Croman is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
The fraternity has released a statement condemning Jake's abuse of the Uber driver.
Croman also has a hate website dedicated to him.
