The 26-year-old woman had booked her Uber ride from Mid Valley to Puchong Jaya.



She had failed to notice that there was a man sitting in the front passenger seat, whose presence she only realised after the Uber driver started chatting with him.



However, when the cab was near the One Puchong Business Centre, the man turned around holding a knife and told her to hand over her valuables.



"I became frightened and started crying and begged them not to hurt me because I'm pregnant," The Star Online quoted the woman, Wong Mei Yan, as saying.



While the man robbed Wong off her valuables, the driver kept on driving until he reached Koi Kinrara, where he dropped her off in the middle of the road at 10.20pm.



She was later helped by a passer-by who drove her to the police station.
