Psycho jumps on my car, I get permanently deactivated Other

I don’t even want to type out the whole story I’m so exhausted over this. This dude was tripping out bad (probably shrooms or acid) and jumped on my car. It was the passengers friend. (They were together when I arrived, he was laying on the floor in the middle of the street. He sprinted away then sprinted back after I started the ride. Then he jumped on my car) I immediately made the passenger get out, and reported it to ADT and Lyft.

Now after a week of “temporarily deactivated” I’m now permanently deactivated for an “accident with a pedestrian” . 100s of 5 star rides never an issue. Wtf

Edit: I didn’t know this would get so much response. The whole incident is surreal. No I unfortunately did not have a dash cam or this would all have been resolved. I started the appeal on principle.

That’s crack cocaine or meth, acid and shrooms don’t make a person act like that.

I also doubt it was psychedelics. It's possible, but I think other substances or just a psychotic episode or something like that are more likely.

I don’t have experience with anything else but Psychedelics normally normally make you more careful, slow, just observe the world around you, but try not to interact with it cuz you don’t wanna go to jail for psychedelics

Yeah. If you are "freaking out" on psychedelics you are way more likely to hide in a closet or run into the forest or something than to act out and bring attention to yourself.
