The driver was told he was going to get ‘a doing’, with the victim claiming he was “some sort of Taekwondo expert”.
A taxi driver who repeatedly punched a man accused of calling him a ‘black b******’ and spitting in his mouth at a petrol station has been allowed to keep his licence.
Mr Ashraf said, initially, the background was “somewhat disputed between the defence and the Crown” but, in June this year, the court had established Mr Nawaz had been provoked. Mr Ashraf then alleged the abuse, which was “racial in nature”, continued as the taxi driver put fuel in his car and, as Mr Nawaz went to pay, the man barged his client, who didn’t react.
Mr Ashraf said the driver then paid for his fuel, got back into his vehicle and contacted the police. He was told to go to Maryhill Police Station, the committee heard, where the man was also present.
