Three dudes recently got into a fight with a guy who they thought was their Uber driver, but he actually turned out to be a naked, drunk dude with a hatchet. Not quite the qualities you’d want in a driver.

Police arrested Michael Monroe in the early hours of Sunday morning after the Virginia man was seen driving “erratically” and nearly hitting pedestrians. The police tried to catch up with the driver, but before they could reach him, the three guys who were waiting for an Uber got into a fight with the 64-year-old in a car park.

A United States Park Police officer said:

A verbal altercation ensued and the subject, who was naked at the time of the incident, retrieved a hatchet from the backseat of the vehicle and started swinging the object.

The three guys reportedly wrestled Monroe to the ground before he could cause any damage with his hatchet, although by the sounds of things he wasn’t all that much of a threat due to him being highly intoxicated. However, the slippery bugger did actually manage to get away and he drove off before being stopped by the police who charged him with drink driving, refusal to take a field sobriety test and disorderly conduct.

What a shocker hey? I mean, you’ve always got to prepare yourself with any taxi driver that they might end up being a bit of a nutter, but naked drunk guy with a hatchet is next level mental.
