Uyi Orobor, 22, and an accomplice asked the driver for a ride after seeing him parked in Arbury Court, Cambridge, at about 8.15pm on 14 January last year. They got in despite there already being a passenger inside.
The driver protested and got out but Orobor began kicking and punching the driver who fell to the ground.
