The 30- year-old reported that things turned South when he asked the man to put on a mask following the protocols put forward to prevent contacting the deadly coronavirus
The man then uttered racist rants saying a black man can not command him to wear a mask
Speaking at an interview with a local US media Kagongo disclosed that he decided to record the video fearing that the whole incident might be turned on him
“For me I was just thinking, get what exactly happened as they are going to flip this thing on me and make it look like I attacked them,” he says.
The driver has since then been banned from using Lyft and has been fired from his job
“There is no place for discrimination of any sort in the Lyft community, and this behavior is absolutely unacceptable. We have permanently removed the rider from the Lyft community and have been in touch with the driver to offer our support.” Lyft spokesperson said
