A woman in the Bronx, New York, unleashed an absolutely savage rant against an Uber driver after he didn’t have a phone charger for her.

It’s unclear what exactly set her off—although she does mention a phone charger later—but the nearly nine-minute video begins with the unidentified woman screaming, “I’m gonna call the cops and tell them you threatened to hit me,” and it only escalates from there.

While it’s not evident from the video who exactly is at fault, the Uber driver stays calm throughout while the woman continues to hurl invective at him.

“I’m going to start screaming out the window that you’re raping me, that you raped me,” she says. “I will punch myself in the face and tell the cops you did it.”

The driver continues to tell her that she’s welcome to leave his car whenever she wants or to contact the police, and when she tells him that her boyfriend will be there waiting for him with “something,” he refuses to take her any further.

She continues with racial insults aimed at the driver.

“Donald Trump going to send you and your family back. Get the fuck out of my country,” she yells.

She also threatens to kick him in the face, pantomiming the action.

Eventually, the apparent basis for their argument comes up: that he did not have a charger for her. When he informs her that it isn’t his responsibility to provide one, she departs the car and carries on to her destination.
