TWO thugs who left a Worksop taxi driver battered and bruised following a dispute over a fare have been sentenced.


Nathan McEvoy, 21, from Dinnington was sentenced to five months in prison at Worksop Magistrates’ Court on Monday for his role in the unprovoked two-on-one attack in December of last year.

His accomplice Michael Robinson, 23, also from Dinnington, was handed a four-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months and ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid work in the community for his part in the act.

District Judge Diane Baker said: “This was an assault on a public servant in the early hours of the morning, while you were in drink.”

“It’s had a psychological effect on him and the way he does his job.”

Well done to the judge for jailing them, maybe they'll think about doing it again.

I think what Doom is trying to say is "Was it an asian driver? I bet he tried to overcharge, and no im not racist because i have lots of asian taxi driver friends" :mrgreen:

All i can say is lets see more judges deal with scum like these - lock them up and throw away the key, far too many of these sh-tholes get away with it!

Actually you farking tit I was saying why did the accused kick up over a cab ride, normally it's because it's a different price to the one expected, or the driver was an asshole to them, it's how you deal with people, get in their face and expect trouble, be reasonable and get none, and where did I mention Asian's you perick?
