Non-trivial about the robbery told the police of St. Louis (mo). The driver of the Uber demanded the passenger’s money, using the… translator on the phone.

According to 26-year-old victim in the early morning on Sunday, December 9, he set up a meeting with the taxi driver, discovering that we have forgotten your mobile.

The taxi driver and forgetful client was found near the 4900 block on Potomac Avenue. But, instead of return a guy’s phone, the driver took out a pocket knife and demanded money… using the application translator. Why exactly is unclear, because persons it is not covered. (And, hence, the use of another voice is inappropriate.) Perhaps the man don’t know English. (Although somehow he was able to communicate with customers?)

Anyway, the police said that the confused boy gave all he had cash, and the robber jumped in his black Honda and fled. By the way, he is still on the loose.
