An Uber driver is charged with indecent assault and battery for allegedly inappropriately touching a passenger early yesterday morning in the North End — the second such charge for a driver for the ride-sharing service this winter, Boston police said.

The 30-year-old victim told officers that she was with three friends when she called for an Uber ride. The friends were dropped off first and she remained in the Uber vehicle waiting to be dropped off at another location.

“The victim stated to officers that during this time alone with the Uber driver, he indecently touched her several times,” police said.

The victim got out of the Uber car and was assisted by a citizen who notified Boston police at about 3:25 a.m., cops said.

The driver, 36-year-old Abderrahim Dakiri, was arrested at the East Boston police station, police said.

The charge is the second for an Uber driver in recent months.

In December, Uber driver Alejandro Done was arraigned on rape and kidnapping charges in Cambridge.
