Taco Bell has fired Benjamin Golden, a senior marketing manager who was caught on video physically assaulting an Uber driver in the Los Angeles area on Oct. 30.

In a three-and-a-half-minute clip—which has accrued more than 400,000 YouTube views—Golden appears to be too intoxicated to reveal his destination to his driver, Edward Caban. Caban eventually pulled over into a parking lot and told the 32-year-old marketer to get out of the car, which Golden initially refused to do before punching and slapping the driver while also grabbing his hair.

Golden, a resident of Newport Beach, Calif., got out of the vehicle after a couple of minutes, when Caban—in self defense—started spraying him with pepper spray. Golden was arrested soon after by local police, and he was later released after posting bail, according to CBS News.

"Given the behavior of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us," Taco Bell said in a statement emailed to Adweek. "We have also offered and encouraged him to seek professional help."

The fool had it made: “...Smith lost his $200,000 salary and more than $1 million in stock options...”

Thank God there was a camera. I hope the rest of this guy’s life is a miserable existence.
