@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB On the 7th of April Alison Nicely picked up three passengers whilst driving for Bolt.

When a fight broke out between them, she tried to calm them down.

But one of the riders turned their aggression on her and punched her multiple times.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB After she left the car to escape, she was hit a further 12 times, dragged to the floor and kicked repeatedly.

Alison pressed the @boltapp SOS button twice during the attack, hoping for some form of help or rescue, but the app didn’t respond. She was left to fend for herself.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB Fortunately some bouncers from a bar nearby eventually saw what was happening, ran over, and pulled the aggressor off her. It took four of them.

Alison had to go straight to A&E, suffering bruising to her face and injuries to her neck, back, and knees.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB Three hours passed after the attack before Alison finally heard from @boltapp. Even then all she got was an email telling her to phone a number.

To this day, no one from Bolt has called her to check she’s ok.

Instead they told Alison her “support case is closed.”

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB @boltapp’s disgusting refusal to provide compensation or sick pay has forced Alison to go back to work already, despite being physically injured and deeply traumatised.

With a family to support and car rental payments to keep up with, she’s had no choice.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB Alison now anxiously awaits each new ride notification, fearful of every trip in case she should end up in the same terrifying situation: alone, unsafe, “protected” only by a button she now knows to be a sham.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB It’s been 2 years since Gabriel Bringye’s tragic murder working for @boltapp, but their appalling disregard for driver safety remains unchanged.

Drivers like Alison continue to suffer assaults on a regular basis, whilst Bolt watches on with indifference.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB This is far from the first assault against a Bolt driver since Gabriel’s death, yet nothing has changed.

Nothing changed when @UPHD_IWGB member Garad was seriously assaulted in Birmingham last year. Nothing changed when another member Abdurahman was assaulted a few months later.

@boltapp @UPHD_IWGB What has to happen before @boltapp does something?

How many more deaths like Gabriel’s? How many more attacks like Alison’s?
