Overview
- An Uber driver's dashcam captured an orange sedan stopping at a stop sign then turning onto a curb and driving across grass toward a couple near Harold A. Henry Park, according to video and news reports from Wednesday evening.
- The couple say the driver hurled a xenophobic insult, circled back to taunt them, and that the man pulled their dachshund Olive out of the car's path and was 'barely missed.'
- A bystander at the park, Sequoia Hugee, told reporters she saw the car come 'up on the curve like very crazy' and then drive away, providing on-scene corroboration of the couple's account.
- The couple say they reported the episode to the Los Angeles Police Department, but the LAPD told at least one outlet it had no public update and the driver has not been publicly identified or arrested.
- The incident unfolded in a busy public park with multiple walkers and dogs present, raising local concern about safety and leaving police identification and potential charges as the key next developments to watch for.
