A father of two, Dr. Gareth Carey, 43, has been sentenced for threatening a taxi driver with a knife and damaging his car’s wing mirror after failing to pay his fare. The incident occurred on June 25 last year when Carey, who holds multiple PhDs in psychology and sociology, was on a night out in Liverpool City Centre. He was intoxicated and failed to pay his £28 fare using an app on his phone. When the taxi driver decided to drive him to Merseyside Police headquarters, Carey became enraged and said, “I’m going to do you in. I’ve got a knife in my bag, you b*****d”. He then exited the cab and kicked it, causing £745 worth of damage to the wing mirror.
