Thirty-two-year-old Benjamin Golden's attorneys said in a statement Wednesday that their client was extremely remorseful for hitting Uber driver Edward Caban and that it was an isolated incident in his life.

"Mr. Golden recognizes that despite his level of intoxication, he should have never slapped Mr. Caban and is extremely remorseful for his actions," the statement read. "We have reached out to Mr. Caban's attorney in hopes of offering Mr. Golden's apology and deep regret in person. We are awaiting their response."

Caban is suing Golden over the attack Friday in Costa Mesa in Orange County.
