Racist mum sank teeth into taxi driver’s finger – just weeks after biting another victim's handSarah McIntyre's mum filmed the incidentA racist mum-of-two sank her teeth into a taxi driver’s finger – just weeks after biting another victim’s hand.
Sarah McIntyre, 33, of Wellington Road, Wavertree, bit Kacem Mehouen while her mum filmed the attack on her phone.
The bite, which broke his little finger, came after McIntyre punched the driver and called him an “Egyptian c***”.
Liverpool Crown Court heard it was the third time she had racially abused a victim and the second time she bit someone.
Alpha Taxis driver Mr Mehouen collected McIntyre and her mum from Ennismore Road, Old Swan , at 2.55pm on November 25, 2015.
Cheryl Mottram, prosecuting, said McIntyre became “quite aggressive” and ordered him to follow a specific route.
The victim refused, informed his office and asked the operator to send another driver.
Ms Mottram said both women were aggressive and refused to get out until the second car arrived.
She said: “The defendant was being abusive and racist and she called Mr Mehouen an Egyptian c***.”
He got out and rang police, before realising McIntyre had taken his taxi badge, as they exited the vehicle.
Ms Mottram said: “She began to punch him to the face. He was blocking the punches with his hand.
“He nearly fell over in an attempt to avoid the blows that were raining down on him.”
McIntyre’s mum said she had him on video and he saw her filming him.
Ms Mottram said: “He then felt a sharp pain to the little finger of his left hand and looked down to see the defendant biting him.”
He managed to get in his taxi and drive away, before going to hospital.
Mr Mehouen suffered nerve damage and required stitches, a splint and five follow-up appointments.
He could not drive for two weeks, which cost him around £600, is now nervous at work and hopes to find another job.
McIntyre made no comment to police, before being picked out by Mr Mehouen in an identity parade.
She denied using racist insults and claimed she bit him in self-defence, but later admitted wounding.
Her previous convictions include a racially aggravated public order offence, when she called a man a “n*****” in 2012.
Last July she received six months in prison, suspended for 18 months, for racially aggravated common assault.
She argued with a cousin in the street on October 5, 2015, when a woman asked them to keep the noise down.
McIntyre was racially abusive, punched the victim in the face and bit her finger.
Michael Bagley, defending, said she accepted racial language and the attack was “wholly unacceptable”.
He said she failed to attend court on August 23 because she feared she would be remanded in custody.
She was arrested on warrant on February 2, when her suspended sentence was activated.
He said McIntyre was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because of events in her childhood.
Mr Bagley said the dad of her children – who live with different grandparents – was jailed for armed robbery.
He said the offences came when he was released on licence and “stresses and strains” explained her “bizarre behaviour”.
The judge, Recorder Rowena Goode, said McIntyre caused Mr Mehooen – who was providing a public service – “a nasty injury”.
She handed her 20 months in jail, consecutive to her existing sentence.
