Houston crime: Two men wanted, accused of assaulting pedi-cab driver, her son

Houston police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying two men accused of assaulting a pedi-cab driver and her son after refusing to pay for their ride. FOX 26's Jonathan Mejia spoke to the driver one-on-one.

HOUSTON - Houston police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying two Hispanic men accused of assaulting a pedi-cab driver and her son after refusing to pay for their ride.

‘You just never know'

What they're saying:

Reveta Fuller, the victim, recounted the incident, describing the men as "monsters" and "cowards." The alleged assault occurred when Fuller demanded payment from the passengers, who initially ignored her and walked away. Determined to receive her fare, Fuller stood her ground.

Fuller described the confrontation: "One of the men approached my son, who is only 16, and grabbed him by the neck. I ran over to protect him."

Fuller continued, "I started punching the man in the head until he let go of my son. Then he grabbed me, and I fell to the ground as he continued to punch me."

Reflecting on the traumatic experience, Fuller said, "At that moment, I thought about my life. ‘Am I going to die right here?’ Luckily, we had something on us that made him stop."

Fuller told FOX 26 she advises men and women in the business to stay protected.

"I really emphasize on women having something. Keeping something on you. Slippers count. Protect yourself. You just never know. People will disregard your life as mine was that night," Fuller said.

Another frustrating thing for Fuller was the passerby who continued to walk past her being assaulted.

"They will not call the police for you. They will pull their phones out. Record you and post you on social media, that is all," Fuller said.

What we know:

The suspects are described as two Hispanic men, both in their mid-30s. One is approximately 5'10", according to Houston Police.
