Former Denmark striker Niklas Bendtner has been sentenced to 50 days in jail and fined 1,500 kroner (£176) after being found guilty of assault.
Bendtner was charged with beating and kicking a cab driver in Copenhagen on September 9.
The 30-year-old Dane admitted hitting the man but said he acted in self-defence after a dispute over the fare.
The cab driver, whose jaw was broken, was acquitted of violence but fined 3,000 kroner (£353) for using his telephone while driving and not wearing his seatbelt.
Bendtner, a former Arsenal and Juventus forward, has not been selected for his national team in recent months because of his poor shape.
