   VANCOUVER - A Vancouver man with links to the East End Hells Angels has   
   been charged with aggravated assault after the brutal beating of a taxi   
   driver last weekend.   
      
   Lloyd Peter Robinson, 29, appeared in Vancouver provincial court Friday   
   for allegedly punching and stomping on the cabbie after a dispute over a   
   $5.40 fare early Nov. 17.   
      
   He was remanded in custody until his next appearance, on Monday morning.   
      
   Robinson's father, Louie, was an original member of the East End Hells   
   Angels but retired from the club after a major undercover investigation   
   in which police agent Micheal Plante infiltrated the gang by getting   
   close to him.   
      
   Lloyd Robinson's uncle John Bryce remains the president of the East End   
   Hells Angels, which has filed a civil suit against the B.C. government   
   challenging the constitutionality of the B.C. Civil Forfeiture laws.   
      
   The government moved in a year ago to seize the East End clubhouse and   
   other assets of the bikers alleging they were the proceeds of crime and   
   that the Hells Angels is a criminal organization.   
      
   Vancouver Police Const. Brian Montague said Friday that the cab driver   
   was attacked after he picked up a man and three women on Granville near   
   Davie Street.   
      
   "The driver took the four passengers to a nearby apartment building at   
   Drake Street and Marinaside Crescent," Montague said. "The verbal   
   argument quickly ended when the man allegedly punched the victim, before   
   kicking and stomping on his face as he lay seemingly unconscious on the   
   ground."   
      
   He said investigators spoke with several witnesses from nearby buildings   
   who heard the altercation and attack, and saw the accused run off after   
   the attack.   
      
   "We do have video evidence. I can't say exactly where that video   
   evidence is from and where it was obtained," Montague said.   
      
   He said the cab driver "received a number of head injuries that included   
   fractures to bones in his face, cuts and the assault did appear to   
   render him unconscious at the time so he was severely beaten."   
      
   Montague said the investigation is continuing and that anyone with   
   information should call police at 604-717-2541.   
      
   He described Robinson as having a criminal record and "known to us," but   
   did not mention the connection to the notorious biker gang.   
      
   Robinson was convicted of an assault in Kelowna in March 2012 and got a   
   fine and a year's probation. He also faced allegations of uttering   
   threats in August 2012 after which a peace bond was issued last February.
