They suspsended the rider's account, the very least they could do is suspend the driver's account till the matter is resolved (Seattle Police Dept lists cases online FYI). Without suspensions, your letting two people who have been in a violent altercation continue to put the rest of your drivers & riders in jeopardy.

Sometimes police cases drag on for months, or years without closing, so Uber waiting would essentially put people out of work.
I don’t think it’s their responsibility. It’s the governments. If police do not think he is a danger to society that must be arrested, then he should be treated normally by his employer.
>Meanwhile, police are conducting a criminal investigation into the assault, but Uber said they didn’t know about it. Police didn’t seek evidence from Uber, and Uber didn’t ask police what was going on. The driver's suspension ended, and he returned to carrying passengers.
Later:
>But ahead of formal charges, the company depends on victim reports or for police to contact them. Uber doesn’t proactively communicate with police about alleged incidents, a policy based on advice from experts on how to respect victims' privacy, the Uber spokesperson said.
I'm really not sure what Uber is supposed to do here. Fire the drive based on an assault claim that both the driver and the rider claim? They have no other info to go on...
