A man bit a taxi driver’s ear off amid a row over an £8.80 fare.
Robert Fleming, 27, pounced on Gerard Magee in Glasgow city centre’s Sauchiehall Street on October 8, 2021.
Fleming refused to pay the fare or leave the taxi when told by Mr Magee.
The pair later got involved in a struggle in which Mr Magee was put in a headlock.
The attacker shouted: “I will bite your f***ing ear off.”
Fleming repeatedly punched his victim before chewing on the top of his ear.
Fleming was convicted at Glasgow Sheriff Court of assaulting Mr Magee to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
The court heard Fleming’s friend booked a taxi from the city’s Knightswood into the city centre.
He was dropped off at Sauchiehall Street and the £8.80 fare was refused.
