CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - An assault caught on camera shows a Charleston man getting headbutted and punched in a parking lot on King Street.

Bryan Kobel says he was assaulted by a man he claims was his Uber driver. Now, he is seeking justice.

Police say this incident happened on April 24, and the victim has filed a lawsuit against Uber and the driver, Vadim Uliumdzhiev, who was here illegally from Russia.

The assault happened in broad daylight, when Kobel says he ordered his Uber after dinner, not knowing what would happen next. The video shows Kobel unconscious after he was punched in the head. Kobel says he was taken to the hospital, suffering brain injuries and amnesia.

In the new lawsuit, Kobel claims this was because his Uber driver refused to take them with his service dog.
