A NEWPORT man is to be assessed for his potential dangerousness after he pleaded guilty to attacking a woman.
Martin Harris, 30, of Stelvio Park Drive, Newport, admitted two counts of causing actual bodily harm.
At Cardiff Crown Court, he also pleaded guilty to three counts of breaching a restraining order.
Judge Jeremy Jenkins told Harris that because of these latest offences and his previous record of convictions, he would be assessed for his dangerousness.
