A MAN faces jail for inflicting grievous bodily harm and breaching a restraining order.
Robbie Wells, of Donaldson Court, Princes Drive, Worcester, was brought up from the cells to the dock of Courtroom 3 at Worcester Crown Court.
The 42-year-old had previously denied unlawful wounding with the case set for trial.
But at the start of the latest hearing Timothy Sapwell, prosecuting, said the indictment should be amended to reflect the particulars of the offence the defendant faced.
When the count of inflicting grievous bodily harm was put to the defendant Wells admitted his guilt.
The offence took place in Worcester on December 6 last year.
Wells had also previously admitted one count of harassment breaching a restraining order, that offence taking place on the same day.
Jason Aris, defending, said although Wells' had an "unenviable" criminal record there had been a significant gap before the defendant committed a string of offences from 2018 - asking for a pre-sentence report.

Judge Martin Jackson agreed for the probation service to write a report ahead of sentencing but stressed to the defendant it was "no promise" to the sentence he would receive.
"All options will be available to the sentencing judge including immediate custody," Judge Jackson said.
Wells, who was remanded in custody, was told his sentence would take place on Friday, May 19.
Well's case was heard on Monday, (April 24).
