AUGUSTA, Ga. — An Uber driver is accused of stabbing two of her customers Sunday in east Georgia, the Augusta Chronicle reported.

Shaunisha Danielle Brown, 29, of Augusta, faces two counts of aggravated assault, the newspaper reported.

Grovetown is in Columbia County, about 140 miles east of downtown Atlanta and about 12 miles west of Augusta.

The victims were taken to an area hospital, and police searched for a 2012 silver Hyundai Sonata, the report said. The vehicle was later found, and Brown was arrested at an AM/PM gas station, the report said.
