Khelife was cursing at Delp and spit at her window after she mouthed the words “Do not touch my car,” the complaint said.
When she got out of the car, court documents claim, Khelife punched the woman in the face — the force dislocating cartilage in Delp’s nose. She also suffered a puncture wound to the neck after Delp’s earring was pushed through her skin, bruising, a scratch to her inner arm and had her shirt torn, the complaint stated.
The assault was stopped after two bystanders stepped in, court documents said. Police were called and Khelife arrested. He was later charged with Simple Assault, Recklessly Endangering Another Person and Aggravated Assault, criminal court documents show. The criminal case is set to go to trial in January 2015.
The civil lawsuit names both Khelife and Uber and seeks damages in excess of $50,000 on counts of battery, assault, emotional distress and negligent hiring on Uber’s part.
