A man who threw a child at a TV has said he is "disgusted" and "ashamed" of himself.
Jamie Pearce, 33, has avoided a prison sentence for the horrific attack against the youngster, who suffered injuries to their back. Pearce, of St Luke Street in Beeston, appeared at Leeds Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and two counts of criminal damage. He represented himself at the sentencing hearing which heard he had a violent past.
Prosecutor, Paul Cleasby, said Pearce had been drinking on the day of the attack. The injuries to the child were discovered when a family member noticed them "arch their back in pain" when they went to give a hug.
