Seattle Uber driver Ahmed Ali was beaten after the passenger’s armed father and his family caught him allegedly raping his daughter

An Uber driver from Washington state is accused of raping and kidnapping a “drunk” passenger before her armed father and family came to her aid during the heinous attack.

Ahmed Ali, 58, appeared in court Monday with severe bruises and bandages to face charges of second-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping with aggravated circumstances due to sexual motivation.

According to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office, Ali picked up a “very intoxicated” woman who was drinking with friends at bars in the Olympia area early Saturday night.

A friend of the victim had ordered her a ride through the app because she was too drunk to walk home alone and watched as she got into Ali’s Uber at 12:17 a.m. before heading to another bar, investigators told KOMO News.

But instead of driving her to her home – which was about 12 minutes from the bar – Ali allegedly took advantage of the defenseless passenger.

The driver reportedly used the Uber app to make it look like he dropped the victim off at her destination.

The suspected robber drove them to a remote, well-known fishing spot on the Nisqually River outside the Fort Lewis Army base – about an hour from Seattle.

However, the victim’s friends arrived at her home about 30 minutes after she was picked up and became worried when she was not there.

Her friends alerted the victim’s father, who knew his daughter’s location through the Life 360 ​​​​app and, along with a group of other concerned family members, rushed to her location.

They found the woman naked in the back seat of the Uber, where she was sexually assaulted.

Ali quickly tried to pull up his pants and climbed into the front of the car to escape, but his father and other relatives began to “beat” him senseless.

During the argument, the angry father allegedly pulled out a gun and fired two shots at Ali – both of which missed.

Officials said they found two bullet casings during their investigation in the area.

A Thurston County Sheriff’s deputy then stopped the Uber driver’s car and found him seriously injured, bleeding heavily from his head and hands.

Although Ali told them he did not need medical attention, paramedics took him to the hospital while other officers conducted a thorough assessment of the victim’s family.

Deputies said the victim was too drunk to consent and that she could not remember what happened after Ali picked her up.

The location-tracking app Life 360, used by her father, showed that the victim’s phone had been traveling for 23 minutes, passing the Uber drop-off point before making its way to the remote fishing spot.

“By marking (the victim) as dropped off on the Uber app and then continuing to transport her to another location, he demonstrated (the suspect’s) intent to conceal (the victim’s) whereabouts where he believed no one could find her so he could sexually assault her,” Thurston County Assistant Prosecutor Rudy Breteler said in court Monday, according to KOMO News.

Thurston County Superior Court Judge John Skinder subsequently sentenced Ali to $100,000 bail and ordered the suspect to wear a GPS monitoring device if he posts bail.

In a statement to KOMO News, the ride-sharing app called its driver’s alleged allegations “appalling” and said they have “no place in our society or on the Uber platform.”

“We take reports of this nature very seriously and removed the driver’s access to the platform as soon as we became aware of the incident. We have a dedicated team on standby to assist law enforcement with their investigations.”

Ali is scheduled to appear for an arraignment on July 2.
