The Maltese taxi driver behind the New Year’s Day hammer attack on Romanian national Alin Mircea Ladariu has been charged with grievously injuring the individual and threatening another Colombian national by the name of Luis Pierino Vargas Garcia.
Christian Lawrence Desira is reported to have picked up the hammer from the driver’s side of the taxi and hit one of the passengers on the head after one of the passengers exhibited disapproval with the driver’s route, exited the taxi and caused damages to the car.
They immediately headed to the St. Julian’s Police station, where the aggressor followed soon after to admit about the fight. Desira plead not guilty and was granted bail on a €500 deposit, €3,000 personal guarantee and the request that he signs a police bail book twice a week.
