SHOCKING footage shows an out-of-control woman threaten to falsely accuse an Uber driver of rape and assault – because he didn’t have a phone charger.

Filmed on the New York taxi driver’s dash-cam, the disturbing video shows the enraged passenger hurling racist abuse at the man telling him to “go back to your country”.

She's caught saying: “I’m going to start screaming out the window that you’re raping me, that you raped me.

“I will punch myself in the face and tell the cops you did it.

“You wanna play?”

The incident is said to have occurred on Monday in the Bronx, reports the New York Post.

After racially abusing the driver, the woman tells him: “Donald Trump going to send you and your family back.

“Get the f*** out of my country.”

The heated exchange apparently stemmed from an argument over the driver not having an iPhone charger.

At one point the driver says: “If I don’t have a charger, politely ask me. I’ll politely tell you, ‘I’m sorry I don’t have a charger.’

“But you start disrespecting me [sic].”

6 The man tells the woman to leave his car but she refuses and insists that she is going to call the police

The woman’s phone was supposedly dead and she thought Uber drivers were required to have chargers.

“I don’t have to have a charger,” the driver says.

“You do. You’re supposed to,” the woman replies.

Throughout the video the passenger and the driver both repeatedly tell each other to call the police.

“I’m not getting out, call the cops,” the woman says.

“I will spit in your face, I’m from the Bronx,” she adds.

“Are you gonna shut up so I can take you to your destination?” the driver asks.

“I will punch myself in the face and tell the cops you did it,” the woman says. “You’re going to jail…You wanna play yourself?

“I’ll call the cops right now…I’m going to tell them you’re holding me against my will…You’re going to jail for domestic violence.”

In response, the driver simply says: “Yea, whatever…Get out of my car.”

After a few more seconds of arguing, he politely asks: “What’s wrong with you?” — sparking another tirade from the woman.

“I will spit in your face,” she says again. “I will violate you, n****r.”

Moments later, the passenger snaps — screaming at the top of her lungs to call her boyfriend — all while the driver looks at the camera and smiles.

“I was taking you to your destination until you started talking s***,” he says, just before the woman realises she’s being recorded.

“Why are you recording me,” she yells, while punching the man’s seats.

“He just hit me in my face.”

After telling the passenger that she can “make up whatever lies [she] wants,” the woman eventually gets out of the car and leaves.

The driver — who claims to have been with Uber for “over two years” — can be heard venting about the incident as soon as she’s gone.

Meanwhile, Uber has taken its fleet of self-driving cars off the roads after an accident left one of the vehicles on its side.

The autonomous Volvo SUV was involved in a collision with another car on Friday in Arizona.

In a statement released today, the company said nobody was seriously injured in the accident which happened in the US town of Tempe.

A spokesperson for the car-hailing service said: “We are continuing to look into this incident and can confirm we had no backseat passengers in the vehicle.”

Last month a terrifying video showed the moment a petrol station bursts into a ball of flames after being hit by an out-of-control Uber car.

The 4×4 was driving through North Seattle when it careered headlong into the gas station.

A fellow driver is seen desperately diving out of the way just before the Nissan X-Terra devastates the forecourt.

Witnesses said, at one point, the vehicle was airborne before smashing into the Shell Station on 4th Avenue.

Amazingly, the taxi passenger and driver survived and were taken to a nearby hospital with just minor injuries.
