A MAN has pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm to a woman and stealing a bicycle.

John Larkin, 35, was charged with assaulting a woman in Hastings on February 24.

He was also charged with stealing a bicycle worth £1,200 on the same day.

Larking, of Nelson Road, Hastings, initially pleaded not guilty to the offences but changed his plea to guilty earlier this month.

He will appear in Brighton Magistrates Court on March 28 for sentencing.
