TEEN PAIR DETAINED FOR BREAKING LEICESTER CONTROLLER’S LEG
A taxi controller was left in agonising pain with a broken leg after being attacked by two drunks, a court heard. The violence erupted inside the Circle taxi rank office in Leicester when Hyden Shep- herd, Louis Connolly, and two friends got into a taxi but were made to
get out when they did not have enough money to pay the fare. The controller threw Shepherd out of the office and Connolly then grabbed a baby seat and used it to hit the 60-year-old radio controller, knocking him to the ground wherupon Shepherd
went up and deliber- ately stamped on his leg.
According to the Leicester Mercury, Shepherd, 19, from Leicester, was sen- tenced to 30 months in detention. Connolly, 18, from Braunstone, received 12 months in detention.
JAIL FOR EX-RUGBY STAR WHO PUNCHED PLYMOUTH CABBIES
A former under-18 England rugby inter- national punched two taxi drivers on a night out in Plymouth. Plymouth Crown Court heard that Ryan Shahin, now 23, was one of four men who got into a taxi last March.
The driver asked them to leave as he was not
yet in service, but Shahin kicked the back of the seat and punched him in the eye. He also punched another cabbie who came to his aid. According to the Ply- mouth Herald, the court heard that Shahin, from Plymouth, was currently serving an eight-month
jail sentence in Leeds for wounding.
The Judge sentenced Shahin to two months in jail on each count of common assault, and ordered him to pay the first taxi driver £625 for lost wages, the sec- ond £100 and pros- ecution costs of £1,600.

Dye
smashed one of the taxi’s windows and searched the driver’s pockets, taking his
phone.
