 Edward Caban, the driver, had recently installed a dashboard camera in his car after having run into other passengers in the past. He told CBS news that the problems began when he realized just how intoxicated Golden was and told him that he didn’t feel comfortable driving him home.

 “You’re too drunk to give me directions, man. I’m kicking you out,” Caban tells Golden as he repeatedly rolls around in the back seat. “Get out of my car or I will call the police.” 
 
 It’s at this point that Golden proceeds to pull Caban’s hair and slap and punch him in the face. Caban, in retaliation empties a can of mace in his attacker’s face, driving him from the car. 
 
 “The only way that I felt I was going to get him to stop beating me was to incapacitate him, was to use some kind of self-defense,” Caban told CBS. “I don’t believe he would have stopped.” 
 
 Not long after the attack, Golden was picked up by Costa Mesa authorities and has been formally charged for public drunkenness and and assault.

 “We’ve been in contact with Mr. Caban and are thankful he is doing OK,” Uber said in a statement to CBS. “The rider involved in this incident has been permanently banned from the platform.” 
 
 Though Caban is recuperating from the ordeal, he says that he’s now looking for another job because he no longer feels safe driving strangers around in his car at night. 
 
 UPDATE: Golden, as one might expect, is now also looking for a new job after being fired by Taco Bell. 
 
 “Given the behavior of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us,” a Taco Bell spokesperson told Adweek. “We have also offered and encouraged him to seek professional help.” ||||| Taco Bell has fired Benjamin Golden, a senior marketing manager who was caught on video physically assaulting an Uber driver on Oct. 30 in Orange County, Calif. 
 
 In a three-and-a-half-minute clip—which has accrued more than 400,000 YouTube views—Golden appears to be too intoxicated to reveal his destination to his driver, Edward Caban. Caban eventually pulled over into a parking lot and told the 32-year-old marketer to get out of the car, which Golden initially refused to do before punching and slapping the driver while also grabbing his hair. 
 
 Golden, a resident of Newport Beach, Calif., got out of the vehicle after a couple of minutes, when Caban—in self defense—started spraying him with pepper spray. Golden was arrested soon after by local police, and he was later released after posting bail, according to CBS News. 
 
 "Given the behavior of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us," Taco Bell said in a statement emailed to Adweek. "We have also offered and encouraged him to seek professional help." 
 
 CBS News reports that Caban has decided to stop driving for Uber, at least temporarily, due to concerns for his safety. 
 
 Here's the video captured by Caban:
– A Taco Bell executive has been fired for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver—with the whole thing caught on video. Identified by police as Benjamin Golden, 32, the passenger can be seen on a dashcam video riding in the car of Uber driver Edward Caban in Costa Mesa, Calif., on Friday night, CNBC reports. But the guy appears too drunk to give coherent directions, prompting Caban to pull over and kick him out. "You're too drunk to give me directions, man," Caban says. "Get out of my car or I will call the police." The passenger opens the door from the back seat when he says, "Lemme tell you something, you little s--t" and repeatedly slaps and punches Caban and pulls his hair. Caban retaliates by spraying something in the man's face (reported as Mace or pepper spray) and pursues him out into the street. "The only way that I felt I was going to get him to stop beating me was to incapacitate him, was to use some kind of self-defense," Caban tells CBS News. "I don't believe he would have stopped." Now Golden is facing charges, including public intoxication and assault on a cab driver, and lost his job as a Taco Bell senior marketing manager. "Given the behavior of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us," a Taco Bell rep tells Adweek. "We have also offered and encouraged him to seek professional help." As for Caban, Fusion reports that he plans to look for another job. (An NYPD officer got caught on video losing it against an Uber driver.)
