The cabbie was left with a broken jaw after Bendtner refused to pay a £4.80 fare, reports the Mirror. The footballer then reportedly went on to punch and kick the driver as he lay on the ground.

Bendtner, 30, currently plies his trade for Norwegian outfit Rosenborg, and is set to appeal the sentence, according to his lawyer.
