INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.– A former Lyft driver accused of raping an Indiana woman was arrested Friday in Indianapolis, according to the Lebanon Reporter.

Nour Baber Mahmoud Albadri, 22, has been charged with rape, criminal confinement and two counts of sexual battery.

The incident occurred early in the morning on Sept. 16. Court documents obtained by the Reporter say Albadri was transporting a 23-year-old woman when he pulled his vehicle over just outside of Zionsville and allegedly raped her.

The victim was able to capture part of the incident on her cellphone, according to the Reporter. After the rape, Albadri then allegedly drove the woman back to her home in Zionsville.

Albadri was taken to the Boone County Jail after his arrest Friday. His bond is set at $250,000 due to the judge’s fear the Jordanian national would flee the country.

A Lyft spokesperson provided the following statement to the Reporter:


Albadri faces up to 27 years if he’s convicted.
