Woman in taxi ‘terror’ is cleared

Woman in taxi ‘terror’ is cleared
A woman who bit the hand and ear of a taxi driver who locked the doors and drove off with her trapped in the car has been cleared of assaulting him.

Mother-of-two Holly Burnett, 24, fought against taxi driver Terry Thornton after he trapped her in his car and drove away from her home at high speed, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard yesterday.

Mrs Burnett was left “terrified” after the ordeal at Milltimber on March 19 last year but was arrested by police and kept in custody for two days. She was found not guilty of assault yesterday following a trial
