In frantic 911 call, Uber driver suing Michael Oher alleges ex-Panthers star ‘bit me’

The fear in Girma Berkessa’s voice – his tone switches from calm to terror seemingly instantly – is clear as he talks to a Nashville 911 dispatcher in April about an alleged assault by former Carolina Panthers lineman Michael Oher.

Berkessa, a Nashville Uber driver, filed a lawsuit against Oher on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

In a 12-minute call released in a video on The Tennessean website, Berkessa – breathing heavily, crying at times and sounding panicked at others – relays his account of the incident.
