London black taxi driver cleared of ramming cyclist with car A black cab driver has been cleared by a jury at the Old Bailey of deliberately ramming his car into a cyclist in an act of road rage. Daniel Wentworth, 52, had been accused of using the taxi “as a weapon” to knock James Williams from his bike during an altercation on Southwark Bridge. Mr Wentworth was on Friday found not guilty following a trial. The court was told he drove after the cyclist before his black cab collided with him. The driver, who reported the incident to police himself, had admitted there was a confrontation but denied dangerous assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Prosecutor William Gatward said the incident happened on January 9 last year, leaving Mr Williams with severe bruising and a damaged ankle. CCTV appeared to show Mr Williams making a hand gesture at the taxi driver, who had pulled out suddenly, blocking the cycling lane and forcing the cyclist to swerve. source: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/lo ... 51971.html |
