A RACIST moron has been caught after footage showing him raining down blows and abusing a black taximan shamed him across Ireland.
The drunken thug was exposed when the sickening dashcam video went viral – and he handed himself in. The yob throws punches at the African cabbie, calls him a “n***er”, a “f***ing c**t” and claims to be a police officer.
The shocking video has cast a light on what taxi drivers in Ireland are having to deal with on a weekly basis, and it's the fifth attack covered by Dublin Live in the month of April alone.
In putting together this list, we asked popular Facebook page Dublin Taxi Drivers what they would like to see done to help.
They responded simply saying: "We should introduce bigger sentences for attacking/assaulting taxi drivers same as New York."
With that, they also sent this picture taken from a cab in the Big Apple.
And here's five good reasons for them to want the New York model.

April 13, Ballyogan Road
Thirty-nine-year-old Imram Shah was knocked unconscious by a vicious group after taking them from O'Connell st out to Ballyogan.
Shah told Dublin Live he collected a group of two females and three males in his six-seater at 3am before taking some to Blackrock and the rest on to Ballyogan.
When the metre hit €41 Imram asked one of them to give him €50 that he was holding - that's when things took a horrible turn.
He said: "One of them was holding €50, and I asked him for it, just as an assurance, as the fare was already €41. Suddenly one of them jumped from the back towards the front and spilled the coke and food everywhere.
"I got a big fright and switched off the engine and got out. I was talking to one of them and I said to him that I let them do what they wanted, blaring music and eating in the car. All of a sudden, I got hit full force between my ear and eye.
"Another one then hit me full force on the neck, and I fell back against my taxi, and was unconscious."
When Imram woke up, the ruffians were gone, and he was in extreme pain.
After a visit to the GP the next day, fears of broken bones were allayed as the doctor confirmed they were bad injuries, but no breaks.
Imram plans to continue to serve his community, getting people home safely, despite the cowardly attack.

April 4th: Bridge St, Clongriffin, Coolock
Gardai are investigating after three girls armed with a large knife tried to hold up a cab driver in north Dublin last night.
The taxi driver had just dropped off a customer in the Clongriffin area shortly after 10:30pm when the three hooded thugs jumped into the back of his cab.
The alert cabbie demanded that the girls pull down their hoods, telling the trio that he wasn’t going anywhere unless they did.
At that point one of the women pulled out a large knife and threatened the man, who quickly got out of his taxi.
The armed woman then jumped in front of the car, and a struggle ensued in which the taxi driver managed to get the blade off the girl.
However the brave driver suffered cuts to his hands in the attack, while the three teens fled.
