A Sunderland yob in a rage threatened to kill a taxi driver in a row over a fare after drinking up to 10 pints, a court heard.

McKenzie Davis, 19, made the threat after being dropped off in Gateshead and finding his bank account empty when asked to pay up.

Davis, of Roker Avenue, Roker, kicked a door of the Mercedes cab and punched a large dent.
