An Uber driver in Brisbane has described being ambushed and bashed by up to ten men who also smashed his car during a terrifying night that saw two other Uber drivers attacked.

When Alex Ihaia, 49, arrived to pick up a customer early on Monday morning he had no idea he was about to be assaulted by a mob of thugs.

"There were two groups of guys standing here, standing against the fence there. And before I knew it, these guys actually had my car door ripped open and trying to get in my car," Mr Ihaia told the ABC's 7.30 program.

"When I actually got out of my car and stood up, I was then struck with … some type of object, which basically knocked me out."

Mr Ihaia said there was so much blood it streamed down his face and into his eyes, preventing him from seeing his attackers who continued to pummel him relentlessly.

But cuts and bruises were not the only damage done during the bloody encounter with Mr Iahai's car, and livelihood as an Uber driver, also targeted.

"They totally smashed my car up. Ripped my driver's door basically around onto the bonnet. [They] smashed my windows and booted my car in," he said.

The attack comes amid an atmosphere of rising tension between cabbies and Uber drivers with the popular and rapidly growing ride sharing app eating into the marketshare of the taxi industry across Australian cities and also worldwide.

Earlier that evening in a Brisbane suburb not far from where Mr Ihaia was attacked another Uber driver said he was bashed by a group of men who tried to get into his car when he stopped to pick up a customer.

Pramil Patel said six men circled his car and one of them reached in and stole his phone.

"Oh, you are an Uber driver," Mr Patel said the man who stole his phone commented after finding the Uber app.

"And other guy who was sitting behind me on the passenger side, he just punch me on the face here. And one of his friends, he just broke the car meter."

Mr Patel said the men made it clear why he had been targeted.

"You are Uber driver. You are f**king illegal," the Uber driver said his attackers yelled at him.

Around the same time that morning a third man, who chose to remain anonymous, said he was also beaten up by a group of men because he was an Uber driver.

"I heard them saying that, 'You are ruining our industry,' and, 'We are suffering because of Uber'," the anonymous driver said.

Queensland Police believe all three attacks were carried out by the same men.

They have not released the names of any of them but reportedly have a list of suspects with one of them connected to the taxi industry.

The taxi Council in Queensland has condemned the attacks and said there is no evidence that cabbies were involved in the assaults.
