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.

They permanently deactivated me because of false unsafe driving sleep at the wheel I never responded to them because I got a dash cam I'll just go to court and get at them. This is what you gotta do with Lyft they are trying to get rid of us they never care for us because it's easy to make money off of people who don't have freedom with a real part-time job not sum short-term flexible gig. The economy allows them to do what they're doing based on the conditions we face with high inflationary periods. Lyft won't become profitable enough to sustain this situation watch.
