A young Aussie has claimed she woke up halfway through a rideshare trip to discover her driver was allegedly performing a sex act in the car.
Kayela Nasalio, 20, and two of her friends ordered a DiDi home from a nightclub on King Street, Melbourne, at about 7.15am on Sunday.
At one point in the 40-minute trip her friend spotted what the driver was allegedly doing and started recording from the back seat.
However, she didn’t wake her friends for fear they would be kicked out of the car.
‘The driver was touching himself while looking at me… Absolutely disgusting. It’s terrible. It’s wrong in so many ways,’ Ms Nasalio told 7News.
‘I would have hit him. I honestly would have kicked him out of his own car. Go to hell, honestly. I honestly wish him the worst. I don’t think I could ever forgive him.
‘I’ll never be getting in a DiDi again.’
Detectives from Victoria’s Sexual Crimes squad arrested the driver on Friday.

DiDi reportedly suspended the driver as they conduct internal investigations of the repot before moving to ban him from the platform.
A spokesperson said the driver had been reported to Safe Transport Victoria.
‘The behaviour demonstrated was inappropriate, and contrary to the values and standards of the platform,’ they said.
It comes amid growing calls for security cameras to be mandated in rideshare cabins, however there is no legal requirement for drivers to do so.
