A drunken thug who launched a 'disgusting' attack on a taxi driver during a row about the fare has walked free from court.
Jermaine Preston, 41, punched, kicked and stamped on his victim - but he was spared jail by a judge who said prison would have a 'potentially harmful impact' on the defendant's five children.
Preston had been partying in Manchester city centre when he booked a taxi from Mainline private hire with his partner and another female friend at 6.30am on September 4 to take him back to his home in Radcliffe.
