A TAXI driver called police when a couple argued in front of him for 20 minutes and the man bashed the woman and bit her foot.
The woman had called the taxi in an attempt to flee her boyfriend’s abuse, Ipswich Magistrates Court heard on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, initially pleaded guilty to three charges of contravening a domestic violence protection order – aggravated offence; and driving when unlicensed.
The pleas were later withdrawn after Magistrate Donna MacCallum urged the defendant to seek legal advice due the seriousness of the charges.
