A teenage boy has been charged after an Uber driver was stabbed 10 times in her car outside a shopping centre. The incident occurred on September 3, 2025. The boy was taken into custody and will face charges for the attack.
A 16-year-old boy has been charged after an Uber driver was stabbed multiple times in her car outside a shopping centre on the Gold Coast, Queensland, on September 3, 2025. The incident occurred at the Westfield shopping centre in Coomera, with the driver, a 32-year-old woman, in a critical condition following the attack.According to police reports, the driver was found in her car with multiple stab wounds to her neck, back, and face. She was discovered by a security guard at approximately 1:25 am and rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition. The suspect, a 16-year-old boy from Upper Coomera, was arrested at a nearby address and charged with acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, armed robbery, and deprivation of liberty [1].
The investigation suggests that the suspect booked a rideshare with the driver and traveled from Hope Island to Coomera. There is no evidence to suggest that the incident was a result of any disagreement or prior connection between the driver and the passenger. Police have declared the area a crime scene and are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant information or dashcam footage of the Foxwell Road area between 11 pm and midnight on Tuesday [2].
The Uber driver remains in a critical condition at Gold Coast University Hospital. The company has expressed their support and assistance in the investigation, stating that such acts of violence are unacceptable and have no place in their platform [3].
The 16-year-old suspect is due to appear at the Southport Children's Court tomorrow. Police are continuing their investigation and have not ruled out any potential motives for the attack. The public is advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
