A New York Uber driver has had his license suspended after forcing a lesbian couple out of his car for kissing.

Emma Pichl, 24, and Alex Iovine, 26, used the app to book an Uber on Saturday, travelling from Brooklyn to Manhattan’s East Village district.

“We got over the Manhattan Bridge into the city,” said Miss Pichl.

“We were sitting on opposite sides of the back seat. At one point we leaned over and pecked kiss, very fast.”

Shortly after the driver, Ahmad El Boutari, “pulled the cab over and said, ‘You should not do that … do not do that,'” said Miss Pichl.
