Police in New York are looking for an Uber driver after he raped a woman who had requested for a ride.

The woman suffered a terrifying ordeal on Thursday when she passed out in an Uber car and the driver took her to his apartment and raped her, police sources said.

The 31 year-old victim called for an Uber at about 2 am in Manhattan, US, and told the 47 year-old driver to take her home.

She then fell asleep in the car, sources said.

The driver instead took her to his apartment and raped her while she was still unconscious, sources said.

She woke up, realized with shock that she wasn’t home and confronted the driver.

“I used protection, please don’t call police,” he said according to police sources.

She fled his home and reported what happened to police she found nearby.

She told police she had a few drinks before hailing the ride and gave no consent for sex, sources said.

Medics took her to Bellevue Hospital for examination.

Police have identified the driver and are trying to locate him, sources said.
