A man in Central Florida was arrested after allegedly attacking a delivery driver who he believed was driving too fast.

Last week, an Amazon driver was delivering packages in a neighborhood in Ocala, Florida. At the same time, a 37-year-old man was in the area riding on his motorcycle with his son as a passenger. The dad believed the driver was driving too fast and causing potential danger to himself and his child, and he yelled and waved his arms to try to get him to slow down. When the delivery driver continued at the speed he was going and stopped to drop off a package, the situation intensified.

According to reports, the man stood in the street directly in front of the delivery van and forced the driver to stop. The reportedly angry dad approached the vehicle and allegedly grabbed the driver by his shirt. The driver, who tried to accelerate as the man held onto the side of the van, began punching him and the man reportedly scratched him on the arms and legs.

An Uber Eats driver in Northeastern Florida is being held without bail after allegedly eating food from a delivery order, spitting on the customer, and stealing hundreds of dollars worth of seasonal decorations from their yard.

Late in the evening on September 12, a 29-year-old woman who works as a driver for the Uber Eats platform accepted the task of delivering a food order from a customer in Davenport. Just before midnight, the driver arrived at the address with the items and walked up to the front door. The customer was watching the woman when she approached with the order, and she believed she saw the driver eating some of the food out of the bag.

It was reported that when the customer opened her door, she saw the driver was holding one of her seasonal decorations in her hand. When she yanked it away, the alleged thief reportedly spit at her. During a heated verbal exchange, the woman used the sign to shield herself from additional potential projectile spittle as she closed the door and called the authorities.

On the morning of August 22, a 45-year-old woman was driving what was believed to be an Amazon delivery vehicle and making package deliveries in the Aventura Isles gated community.

The SUV struck the mother and child, and the impact caused the mother to fall onto the ground, and the infant was thrown out of the stroller. According to reports, before she drove away, the driver got out of the vehicle and put the 3-year-old, who was crying, back in his stroller.
