A gay New York couple shared how their Uber driver went on a homophobic tirade before dragging one of them in his car for half a block.

Taray Carey and his husband, Alex, were riding in Manhattan's East Village on Tuesday night with a friend when they claim their driver - Denis - launched a verbal and physical assault on them.

'Tonight I was thrown out of an #uber by a homophobe,' Taray said on Facebook. 'I tried to step out, and he gunned it while my husband was still in the back seat.'

'My friend jumped out when we got to a red light, while the #Uberdriver continued to call us f****ts, and told us we would be beheaded in his country. This is not ok!'

'Tonight I was thrown out of an #uber by a homophobe,' Taray said. ''I tried to step out, and he gunned it while my husband was still in the back seat'

The post included photos of Taray's bruises. His knuckles and knees were left bloodied and his right buttcheek also suffered a bruise from where he was dragged.

The 27-year-old real estate agent and city contractor spoke with the DailyMail.com about the traumatic experience.

Taray shared that he and Alex, a 33-year-old architect, had been riding with a friend from Hell's Kitchen to East Village at approximately 1.30am on Wednesday morning.

He said that the ride started out normal and the driver was quiet while the recently wedded couple caught up with their groomsman.

'Towards the end we were just talking and asked if our friend was dating anybody,' Taray said.

And when the driver saw Taray put his arm around Alex, he allegedly asked the trio if they were 'f*gs'.

In pure disbelief, Taray inquired what the driver had said and proceeded to argue with the man. It was then that the driver told them that they would be beheaded in his country.

'I just told him to 'Shut your mouth,'' the Whitehall, Pennsylvania, man said, adding that the driver continued on with his onslaught of verbal abuse.

Once at the destination and while stopped at a red light, Taray said that his friend started getting out of the car. But as he tried to exit the Toyota Camry, Taray said the light turned green and the driver immediately began speeding off.

Taray hung on to the car and his husband's arm as the vehicle dragged him half a block down East Fourth Street. Alex was stuck inside, screaming at the driver to stop.

'I was just holding onto Alex's arm and trying to help him out,' added Taray. ' I was then flung from the car and fell in the street. I did a couple rolls and had a knot on the back of my head.'

But Taray's adrenaline kicked in and he quickly got up to see what had happened to his husband.

'Alex said he was just ignoring him,' Taray said of the driver who kept speeding until he got to the next light and had to stop. Alex hopped out the car and the two ran to hug each other.

Their friend saw the whole ordeal but was further down the block as he had been let out earlier.

After all the commotion, the couple decided to call the police from the 9th precinct. They saw a squad car nearby and proceeded to speak to the two officers there.

'Emotions were high and we were freaked out,' said Taray. 'I tried to calm down and started telling the officer to put out some information because he was still nearby, but he told me to not tell him how to do his job.'

Taray added that the officers were 'dismissive' and said that the trio 'probably deserved it.'

'It was the most insulting thing that I ever heard,' Taray added.

According to Lieutenant John Grimpel, a spokesman for the NYPD, officer's bodycam footage didn't show that same scene.

After reviewing body camera video from the responding Police Officers, at no time did any of the officers mock the victim, tell him that he probably deserved it or laugh at him,' the NYPD said in a statement. 'A complaint report was filed for leaving the scene of an accident with injury and is being investigated by the 9th Precinct Detective Squad.'

The NYPD also said that the victim 'appears drunk and belligerent' and said that bodycam footage showed Taray making negative comments about the officers appearance.

The real estate agent said that he could tell that the police hadn't filed the report immediately, adding that he tried to contact them on Wednesday but they didn't have the report. He also said that his lawyer will request the footage so that they can see it as well.

'They treated us like two children on the playground who had just gotten into an argument,' he said.

The whole ordeal has served as a traumatic reminder to Taray that even with progress, there is still a ways to go for acceptance.

He said: 'We had just celebrated one of the best days of our lives and you think you're past a lot of the things we've been fighting for for so long, but this is a reminder that we still have a ways to go. You get married and start doing things that you should be doing but then to be devalued and disrespected in such a way is not okay.'

The couple have spoken at length with their lawyer and are seeking council on what to do next.

Taray shared that after the ordeal, the trio used Find My iPhone to locate the groomsman phone. He had dropped the phone in the Uber while rushing to exit the vehicle.

When they found the phone, the three discovered that not only was it thrown in a garbage can not too far from the scene but it was also broken in half.

Uber shared that the driver has since been removed from the app.

'What's been reported is very concerning to us and Uber does not tolerate any form of discrimination,' the ride sharing app said in a statement. 'The driver's access to the app has been removed as we continue to investigate.'

Uber shared that they would help police with an investigation and have refunded the trip back to Taray.
