Jailed bully's history of violence before he imprisoned a nurse

A cowardly bully jailed for a vicious attack on a former partner had previously battered a taxi driver in a racist attack.

David Hickman was on licence when he bit, punched and imprisoned a nurse last summer. That violent incident was just the latest in a series of horrific acts perpetrated by the 33-year-old - including against other partners.

Hickman was locked up on Wednesday after Liverpool Crown Court heard of his vile antics on the night of the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy last July.
