NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – An Uber driver was in a coma Saturday, weeks after he was beaten during a fight with passengers on the Upper East Side, police said. The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspects Saturday after the attack on the morning of Feb. 5. The 54-year-old driver got into an argument with the passengers before the dispute escalated into a fight near 62nd Street and Second Avenue, police said. A male passenger punched the driver in the face with a closed fist, knocking him to the ground, according to police. The suspects then took off. The driver was rushed by EMS to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition with severe head trauma. He was eventually placed into a coma and was upgraded to critical but stable condition, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
