Newton Abbot skinheads are jailed for racist attack on taxi driver A pair of tattooed skinheads have been jailed for a racist attack which left an Asian taxi driver too injured to work for two months. Stephen Wills and Andrew Cronin racially abused their victim as they punched and kicked him, leaving him with a shattered thumb, a broken nose, and dislodged teeth. Wills and Cronin were among a group of friends from Newton Abbot who missed the last train home after a night out in Exeter and then argued with taxi drivers about the cost of a fare into the centre of the city. They set on cabbie Sarwar Amiri, who said he was punched so hard he felt as if he had been hit by a car. Other drivers on the rank at St David’s station said they thought the attackers were so violent they looked like professional fighters. Labourer Wills, 23, of Brimley Vale, Bovey Tracey, who has a tattooed face, and window fitter Cronin, 21, of Forbes Road, Heathfield, who has tattoos on his neck, both admitted affray. Wills was jailed for 11 months and Cronin for eight by Judge Barry Cotter, QC, at Exeter Crown Court. Wills received a longer sentence because he has previous convictions for violence. http://www.thisissouthdevon.co.uk/Newto ... story.html |
