|Updated:

A Virginia Uber driver was attacked by his passengers after he asked them not to drink alcohol in his vehicle, according to police.

The driver, whose name is not being made public, told officers that he was hit in the head with a glass bottle, and punched, by his three male passengers.

The driver had picked up a group of six passengers around 11 p.m. on Saturday night and was driving them to their destination when he heard beer bottles clinking.

The driver asked the boisterous group to throw out the beer, pulling over near the Pentagon and the south end of Arlington National Cemetery.

One of the men opened a passenger-side door and tried to pull the keys out of the ignition. When he wasn't able to, he began punching the driver.
