This is the moment a fake taxi driver snatches a drunk woman off the streets and bundles her into his car before police swoop.
Kuldip Chahal, 51, approached the woman as she was waiting for a taxi in Newcastle city centre at around 2.20am on December 21 last year.
He was found guilty of kidnap following a one-week trial at Newcastle Crown Court in May.
Chahal was jailed for seven years on Thursday and will also serve an extended licence period of three years. He was also made subject to a lifetime Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
