Taxi driver dragged passenger 250m along road after fare row, court hears

A taxi driver dragged a passenger along a road with his car for 250m following a dispute about a fare, a court heard.

Martin Rehill, aged 63, with an address at Daroge, Seven Oaks, Rathmines, is accused of dangerous driving, failing to stop following the occurrence of an injury, and not keeping his vehicle stationary following an alleged incident at Rathgar Road, on Dublin’s southside, on May 31.

Garda Aron Lawlor told Judge Michael Walsh at Dublin District Court that one of Mr Rehill’s passengers was unable to pay a fare and rang his mother and arranged to pay at his house.
