Passenger fined for punching taxi driver A TAXI ride from Portsmouth to Chichester proved very expensive for a passenger who assaulted the driver at the end of his journey. Elliott Purser, 22, of Lichfield Gardens, Aldwick, Bognor Regis, took the trip in February after a night out in the city. On arrival in Chichester, and after arguing with driver Gabriel Muntaneau, Purser became violent and punched him in the head. Purser denied a charge of assault by beating to magistrates in Chichester. But he was found guilty and given an 18-month conditional discharge. After the case, the officer who arrested Purser, PC Matt Chamberlain, said violence against taxi drivers will bot be tolerated. PC Chamberlain added of the attack: ‘Thanks to closed circuit television cameras inside the taxi we were able to prosecute Purser even though he denied the attack. ‘This conviction will act as a reminder to all that violence towards people who are simply doing their job will not be tolerated.’ Purser was also told he must pay prosecution costs of £620, a victim surcharge of £15 and compensation of £50 to his victim. A collection order was made. source: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/ ... -1-6771829 |
