A dad found his daughter being raped in the back of an Uber after he tracked the car down using an app, according to reports.
He found his 25-year-old daughter in the back of the car and pulled her to safety - while the alleged attacker jumped into the front seat and drove off.
The father, from Baltimore, USA, traced his child's location at around 11.30pm on Saturday after becoming worried about her welfare when she failed to come home.
The concerned parent reportedly exchanged 'words' with the driver, who then lobbed an object at him and sped off.
An Uber spokesman told CBS Baltimore : "What’s been reported is appalling beyond words.
"We removed the driver from the app as soon as this report was sent to us. We will work with police on their investigation."
The Daily Mail reports that Corporal Shawn Vinson, of the Baltimore County Police Department, said: "When he went up and knocked on the car, he observed the driver and the victim in the back seat of the car.
"This is a very serious allegation. It's a very serious incident. The father of the victim called police. This is an ongoing investigation.
"Uber has worked closely with our detectives in this matter.
"We will release more information as the investigation progresses but it is vital at this time to withhold specific details to allow our detectives to continue their investigation."
Police are investigating the claims as a rape case. The dad used an unnamed application to trace his daughter's location.
