Taxi driver demanded 'abusive' drunk passenger left his car before breaking his leg
A taxi driver kicked an 'aggressive' drunk passenger out of his car before stamping on his leg. Samsun Noor dealt picked up 'difficult and abusive' passenger Graham Trevor, who had been drinking at a friend's house, a court heard.
The pair had a 'dispute' before Mr Trevor continued to be 'volatile', leading to Noor telling the passenger to leave his car. Mr Trevor stumbled as he eventually left the vehicle, before Noor stamped on him - leaving him needing surgery on a broken leg.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday (September 3) that a taxi was called to pick Mr Trevor up from his friend's house on Borough Road, in Birkenhead, at around 1am on April 25 last year. The complainant had 'difficulty walking' to the car, which was parked across the road, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Graham Pickavance, prosecuting, described how this led to a 'dispute' with Noor, who demanded payment upfront. Mr Trevor handed over a £10 note and the vehicle then set off and travelled for around five minutes.
But the customer continued to behave 'aggressively' and was told to get out of the taxi near to Pyramids Shopping Centre, having accrued a fare of £4.20. He was 'reluctant' to leave the car but did so after 'grabbing' the cash back from Noor, who had opened the door in order to assist his departure.
Mr Trevor however fell to the ground at the rear of the vehicle, at which point the driver stamped on his leg. He then got back into the taxi and drove off.
The injured passenger was later taken to Arrowe Park Hospital, where it was discovered that he had sustained a broken tibia. He subsequently underwent surgery as a result of this fracture.
Noor, of Larch Road in Birkenhead, was arrested at home the following morning. Under interview, he told detectives that he 'didn't do anything' but said Mr Trevor was 'clearly drunk'.
The 47-year-old has no previous convictions. Stuart Mills, defending, told the court: "There is a lot that can be said about him. His remorse appears to be genuine. He could not have anticipated the level of injury."
