A RACIST woman tried to stab a taxi driver after hurling abuse at him.

Nicole O'Conner flew into a rage shortly after Mandeep Singh was told he was "getting done" last September.

The 24-year-old lunged at the cabbie with a blade before using the weapon to repeatedly strike his Toyota Auris car.

Mr Singh - who worked for Glasgow Private Hire - luckily escaped unhurt.

O'Conner now faces a jail-term after she admitted to the racially aggravated assault and stealing the taxi driver's mobile phone.

She was remanded in custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court pending sentencing next month.

Mr Singh, 40, had been taking O'Conner and others to her home in the city's Possilpark.

Prosecutor Mark Allan said the atmosphere in the car suddenly "changed".

Mr Allan went on: “Mr Singh was told he was getting done by O’Conner and that he was getting stabbed

“He was called 'a P*** b*****d' as other things were being said to him.”

Raging O’Conner grabbed the cabbie's phone before initially going to her home.

As Mr Singh contacted his firm, O'Conner then emerged clutching a blade.

Mr Allan added: “She walked towards Mr Singh and attempted to strike him with the knife.

“She then struck the body work of the car, rear window and tyres before returning to the property.”

Police soon arrived and found O'Conner at her home.

As officers tried to take her away, O'Conner then kicked out at PC Ross Mckinlay hitting him on the head.

She also pled guilty to the assault on PC Mckinlay today.

Sheriff Paul Crozier deferred sentencing for reports.
