Blue Singer Lee Ryan Guilty Of Punching Taxi Driver

June 24, 2008

Lee Ryan, a former member of the boy band Blue, has been found guilty of assault.

Ryan, 25, was fined £500 for punching a taxi driver in the head during an altercation in Surrey last New Years Eve.

The incident took place after Ryan's fiancee drove into the back of Naeem Ibrahim's taxi. The singer denied common assault charges.

According to the BBC, the Judge at Guildford Magistrates Court ordered Ryan to pay £300 in compensation and legal costs of £450.
