A man posed as an Uber driver Sunday morning in an attempt to pick up college students.

According to CBS News, the man picked up two students from Texas Christian University saying that he could not find his passenger so instead wanted to give them a ride just before 2 a.m. on Sunday.  

As they rode in the back of his car, he started to make sexual comments. The students demanded that he pull over as they escaped the car right after he tried hugging them.

TCU's interim director of communication Holly Ellman said that police have a man in custody but they will not release any further information on the matter.

Uber urges passengers to only get into cars that they have hailed using the taxi's app, CBS DFW reports. There is also a photo of the driver on the app, so passengers should always check to see that the photo matches when their driver arrives.

Meanwhile, students say that they usually hail cabs down in the early morning hours when Uber is extremely busy calling it an "Uber surge."

"During Uber surges when there is not a lot of cars available there will be some cars just parked on the side ready to pick people up," said student Allie Katz.

Katz recalls getting into an Uber car in the past with a friend. In a different scenario, the driver asked if they needed a ride when their passenger did not show up as well and they got a ride.

Meanwhile, prosecutors are suing the rapidly-growing taxi business for being misleading when they say they do thorough background checks on all of their drivers, according to CBS Los Angeles.

Uber Drivers have been found to have some extensive criminal records from crimes to murder and kidnap charges.

Nairi Hourdajian, Uber representative, defended the company saying that no background check systems are perfect.
