This is the moment a customer of an Uber in the US launched a can of beer at her driver after an alleged heated exchange.

Footage captured on October 12 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shows the moment Uber driver Shalle K'naan films his passenger after she allegedly became aggressive.

He writes: "I dropped this customer to her respective destination she requested through a ridesharing app (Uber).

"While in the car on her way to her final destination she was drinking a beer. I politely told her that Uber rules state that a customer cannot actively drink in the car.

"She refused to stop drinking and she begins cursing me out."

The driver claims that once the car reached the customer's destination, she refused to get out of the car, causing K'naan to begin recording "out of fear of [his] life".

He adds: "Once she saw I was about record her, she changed her aggressive behaviour but didn’t calm down.

"She asked me to take her home. I refused because I can no longer drive her beyond requested destination. She threw a can of beer at me and it hit my dashboard."

The customer repeatedly swears at K'naan before leaving the scene.

K'naan says he was simply doing his job.

He adds: "Uber rules say that you can’t drive someone beyond their requested destination.

"When you reach the destination, whether the customer put the wrong address or not, I’ve done what is required of me and completed the trip and tell the customer to leave the car."
