A former Taco Bell executive who was filmed appearing to drunkenly attack his Uber driver in a violent video that went viral last fall is reportedly now suing for $5 million.

In Benjamin Golden's countersuit against former driver Edward Caban, the 32-year-old ex-digital executive blames Caban for any injuries sustained during their violent Oct. 30 encounter. He also claims that the incident was illegally filmed, CNBC reported.

Golden's attorney, speaking to the news site, said they are working to have the dash cam video thrown out as evidence in the criminal case filed against him in November.

That video appears to show Golden grabbing Caban by his hair and repeatedly hitting him in his face after he's ordered to get out of his vehicle for being drunk.
