A drunk man in Oregon verbally abused an Uber driver then made off with the car Saturday, OregonLive.com reported.

Collin Lyle, 31, had requested an Uber to travel from Portland to the nearby city of Tigard. He became verbally abusive toward the driver, then interfered with the driver's control of the vehicle, police said.

The driver, who was not injured, went to a 7-Eleven parking lot and went inside the store to get help, and Lyle fled in the driver's vehicle. He went over a curb and down a dirt slope.

He later was charged with DUI, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, reckless endangering and intimidation.
