Sam Kerr said she was “terrified” for her life during a taxi ride after the driver locked the doors and windows before speeding and swerving, which led to her partner smashing the car’s window with her boot in an attempt to escape, a court has heard.
Kerr, 31, the captain of the Australian women’s football team and Chelsea’s star striker, is on trial at Kingston crown court accused of racially aggravated harassment after calling a police officer “fucking stupid and white” when he doubted her claim of being “held hostage” by the driver. She denies the charges.
