A TAXI driver who could lose his licence after assaulting another man will have to wait until next month for a decision by councillors.

Stuart Foster, 33, of Haughton Road, Darlington, struck the father of a child who had allegedly bullied his daughter, after an argument.

Mr Foster immediately went to the police following the incident and told them what happened.

He received a police caution for common assault in November 2000.

At a meeting last week, members of Darlington Borough Council's licensing committee adjourned until April 9 their decision on whether to revoke or suspend his licence, issue him with a warning letter or take no action.
