Taxi driver punched during airport altercation

A row blew up at the airport taxi rank when a man unloaded bags from a private car and later punched the taxi driver on the nose.

Mr Mullan was given an adult caution by gardaí arising out of the incident. He was called yesterday as a prosecution witness against the taxi driver.

Enogieru was before Cork District Court where he pleaded not guilty to threatening behaviour. He had refused to take an adult caution from gardaí to avoid a prosecution. He insisted he never said, “I’m going to fuck your mother”, which he allegedly said before being punched, or anything like that so he contested the case yesterday.
