The two teens, who were not identified, have been detained, Las Vegas Metro Police confirmed.
Two Las Vegas teenagers were arrested after they allegedly attacked an Uber driver when he declined to give them a ride. The brutal pummeling was caught on the driver’s dashboard camera.
The Uber driver, who asked not to share his name, told KVVU-TV that he received a request to pick up the two young men outside an apartment complex near Las Vegas’s Convention Center. He noted that the two passengers, who looked underage, had only requested one seat through the ride share app’s UberPool.

Under Uber’s policy, drivers are not allowed to accept ride request from underage passengers. Drivers are asked to decline the ride request if they believe the rider is under 18.
