According to WPVI, an Uber driver suffered multiple injuries to his face after he was beaten and robbed early Tuesday morning in West Philadelphia, 6ABC reported.

Per the news outlet, the 65-year-old driver told police it happened around 2:30 a.m. at 50th Street and Westminster Avenue, where four men pulled the driver from his Toyota Rav-4, then punched him and kicked him in the head.

Unfortunately, police say the man lost several teeth in the attack and also suffered a broken nose and swollen eye.

Despite being hurt and dazed, he managed to get a glimpse of the license plate number and relayed that information to the police, the news outlet reported.

Soon, officers located the Rav-4 going in the wrong direction at the intersection of 46th and Lancaster streets.

The suspects jumped from the vehicle and fled but officers managed to arrest two of them, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, following a chase.
