20 MONTHS’ JAIL FOR RACIST THUG WHO BIT LIVERPOOL CABBIE AFTER BEING REFUSED FARE


A racist thug bit a taxi driver before threatening to hunt down and rape a police officer’s children. The Liverpool Echo reports that James Ryan flew into a rage after two cabbies refused him and his girlfriend fares because of their “aggressive” behaviour. Liverpool Crown Court heard John McEneaney was waiting in his hackney cab, at a taxi rank on Hanover Street in Liverpool city centre. He saw a man and woman trying to get into the back of a cab in front, who looked like they were being “aggressive” to the driver, who drove off. Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, said the man - Ryan - then turned to Mr McEneaney and said: “I suppose you’re not going to f***ing take us.” Mr McEneaney decided to drive away, but said Ryan’s girlfriend bent down in front of his cab, he believed to try and pull off his registration plate. Ryan used a vile slur against Mr McEneaney before kicking his cab - damaging the fuel cap - and punching his window, trying to smash it. Mr Blasbery said Ryan, 39, then tried to pull off his left wing mirror, so the victim got out and said: “Just move away from the cab lad.” Ryan knocked him over and the cabbie banged the back of his head, then Ryan straddled him and bit the left side of his head. Mr Blasbery said Ryan, from Walton, continued to “punch him and bite him whilst he was defenceless on the floor”. He said Mr McEneaney “to his credit managed to overpower him” and get to his feet, but Ryan again forced him down and punched him. When the victim got up a second time, Ryan said “I’ve got knives, I’m going to f***ing stab you, you’re only a f***ing pensioner” and reached into a holdall, so Mr McEneaney got back in his cab, locked the doors and drove off. He flagged down police, who arrested Ryan shortly after the attack, at around 11pm, on May 23, 2019.


NOVEMBER 2021


The victim was treated at hospital for two “super- ficial” head wounds and given a hepati- tis vaccine course, which came back all clear. His previ- ous back injury was aggravated and he was off work for two months. The victim said he lost £2,400 in earn- ings and it cost £300 to repair his taxi. Ryan admitted a racially aggravated public order offence, but denied assault causing ABH and criminal damage until the trial. Ryan was taken to a police station and racially abused a custody officer,


shouting “F*** you n******, I’m going to rape your kids n*****, when I get out of here I will find your details, come round and rape your kids f***ing n*****.” He has 13 previous convictions for 21 offences, with his last conviction in 2014, including “racially or religiously aggravated violence”, common assault and assault causing actual bodily harm. Judge David Potter said “mercifully” the injuries were not as serious as they might have been, but his victim had feared infection. Jailing him for 20 months, he said: “Licenced taxi drivers provide a valuable service to the community in difficult and often dangerous circum- stances and they can expect to feel protected in their workplace.”


JAIL FOR TWO MEN WHO ROBBED TAXI DRIVERS IN BEDFORDSHIRE


Two men have been sentenced for robberies of taxi drivers in Bedfordshire. According to the Bedford Independent, Ryan Edwards, 23, and Tyrese Abbas, 20, of Bletchley, were sentenced on Monday 18 October to more than seven years in total after pleading guilty to the robbery offences. The first incident took place in October 2019 after a taxi driver picked up a group of men in Kettering and drove them to Bedford. When they arrived at the location the group then grabbed the victim by his neck and stole his earnings and personal documents, before running off from the scene. The second incident happened a day later when a second taxi driver picked up the offenders in Luton. When arriv- ing at the location in Flitwick, the group threatened the driver with a knife and stole his earnings. The victim managed to sound the car horn to raise alarm and scare off the attackers.


Edwards and Abbas were identified through CCTV in Bedford, and DNA and fingerprints left at the scene in Flitwick and were arrested on 6 January 2020. Ryan Edwards was sentenced to 51 months for two counts of robbery. Additionally, this sentencing activated a previous suspended 33-month sentence for drug-related offences; totalling seven years imprisonment. Tyrese Abbas was sentenced to 37 months in a Young Offender Institution for two counts of robbery. Both were ordered to pay £362 victim surcharge.
