Shocking video shows CEO with service dog being knocked out by illegal Russian Uber driver
New York Post ^ | Aug. 21, 2025 | Ariel Zilber and Natalie O'Neill

A Russian Uber driver working illegally in the US was caught on camera head-butting a South Carolina CEO as he held his service dog, leaving the knocked-out rider with a brain injury, according to the victim and a new lawsuit.

Charleston-based CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, canceled a ride home from a French restaurant, Maison, in April because the driver refused to take his service dog, Kobel told The Post on Thursday. Disturbing surveillance footage shows the driver — identified as Vadim Uliumdzhiev, 42 — suddenly marching over and knocking out Kobel as he holds his 17-pound golden doodle in the parking lot. “The next thing I know, I’m waking up in a hospital bed with seven staples in my head and four stitches,” Kobel said. “It’s been a brutal experience to this day.” Kobel, who is the CEO of a biotech company, suffered a concussion, amnesia, and scarring— and soon learned from cops the driver had gotten the Uber job with a fake license, he said.

Well if a Muslim man with a dog came up to my Uber, I would have done the same thing. And after I knocked the guy out, I would have taken his cute little doggy to a shelter.

Russian or Chechen?

Chechnya is a republic of Russia. Chechens are Russian just as Alaskans, Hawaiians and Texans are Americans.

True, Muslims are usually accepting of the exception of dogs as service animals or for agricultural work purposes such as sheep dogs.

Not as pets.

Muslims believe dogs’ saliva is impure (najis) and if they lick you it is necessary to ward off impurities and cleanse yourself before any daily prayers or protection rituals to get into Paradise. This also applied to nasal mucus.

The driver is a muslim name from the caucus region in Russia.

Funny the media is emphasizing on the Russian part rather than his religion that reject dogs.

No, even more so, since they are the engine of the army.

I am an amateur on anything technical but this is about the topic:

Service dog or emotional support dog? 17 pounds, in arms, no vest. Could be seizure alert, hypo/hyperglycemia alert?

Not that it matters as to the assault.

You are correct. However, if you ask a Chechen you might get a different answer.
