DARTFORD & BECKENHAM: Two men charged after taxi driver assaults
POLICE have charged two people in connection with alleged assaults on three taxi drivers in Dartford.
Christopher Cole, aged 25, of Coopers Mews, Beckenham, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, have both been charged with one count of assault causing actual bodily harm and two counts of common assault.
The alleged incidents took place on the night of February 15.
Cole appeared at Dartford Magistrates’ Court today and has been remanded in custody.
The 17-year-old has been bailed to appear at the same court on March 10.
Taxi drivers in Dartford want CCTV installed in their cabs, but Dartford Council says funding is not available.
