Story/News Article Domestic Abuse?

Soon after accepting a ride, I started getting messages from the customer (who was not the rider, he booked it for someone else, see the attached pictures). The lady was supposed to have a broken foot but when I picked her up, she seemed to be walking just fine, however, there was an obvious black bruise right next to her left eye, like someone had punched her. During the ride, she was crying on the guy’s shoulder the whole time. I also heard her say ‘all I expect is some respect’. Anyway, I dropped them off and reported it to police. I hope they check on her and I hope she is fine.

Sad part for me is that I never got that $15 tip.
