An Uber Eats driver has been charged with masturbating in his SUV after a making a food delivery to a 23-year-old woman Hackensack last week, police said Wednesday.

Vinicius Porto, 30, of Newark, faces a charge of lewdness and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, authorities said.

Porto made the Uber Eats delivery to the 23-year-old woman at 4:43 p.m. on Thursday, but the woman told police the bag of food was unstapled and she thought it was odd, authorities said. She approached the driver’s SUV still parked outside her house to inquire and saw him masturbating in the front seat, police said. She pulled out her cell phone and recorded the incident before Porto fled, police said.

Porto was arrested the next day, charged with lewdness and released, police said.

The woman also reported the incident to Uber Eats. “What’s been described is disturbing and unacceptable. We’ve been in touch with the customer and the courier’s access to the app has been permanently removed," an Uber spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson said Porto’s alleged actions are a clear violation of Uber’s community guidelines.
