A taxi passenger who drunkenly tried to hit the driver was in a “dark place” at the time, a court has heard.

Kevin Maguire (39) was in an agitated state when gardaí arrived to help the driver remove him from the taxi. Judge Máire Conneely struck the case out, sparing him a criminal record, when he made a €300 charity donation.
