The 20-year-old admitted two counts of assaulting an emergency worker by beating and five counts of theft, as well as breaches of post sentence supervision and a criminal behaviour order.

Court papers stated he assaulted PC Newton and PC Rowland on January 15 last year in the area of Trigon Road, Poole.
