In committing these offences, Stear is in breach of a suspended sentence which he received last year for breaching a restraining order against an ex-partner.
This was a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years.
Kelly Purcell-Chandler, mitigating, said: “He was surrounded by four officers.
“There was no intention to cause any harm at all. He is very remorseful for the injury caused.
“This was a blip. He has worked on himself in custody.”
It was agreed to adjourn the sentencing to June 12 for a pre-sentence report.
Judge Maria Lamb said: “There is no indication whatsoever that this will be anything other than immediate custody.”
