Abbotsford man pleads guilty to assaulting Uber driver, gets 1 day in jail

An Abbotsford man has pleaded guilty to assault in an attack on an Uber driver in the city on April 18.

William Tickle, 38, was sentenced to one day in jail and a year’s probation on June 28 after the attack on Aman Sood was caught on camera earlier this year.

Tickle received credit for 44 days in custody before his sentence, and has also been ordered to pay $100 in a victim surcharge fine.

The attack had sparked calls for more accountability from the ride-booking app.
