Kerr, partner feared kidnap by cab driver, court told

A night of celebration ended in Sam Kerr crawling out of the broken back window of a taxi, then being arrested for racially aggravated abuse of a London police officer, causing "harassment, alarm or distress," a UK court has been told.

Jurors watched footage of the Australian women's football captain telling officers she and partner Kristie Mewis feared they were being kidnapped after the driver refused to let them out of his cab following a row over compensation for vomit in the back of his vehicle.

Kerr was recorded twice calling police constable Stephen Lovell "f***ing stupid and white," and insisting on going to court rather than pay for the window, leading to her being arrested.
