A man was hospitalised after being punched to the face and knocked to the floor in an assault at a Metrolink tram stop. The disturbance was reported to police on July 2 last year, after an altercation between two men ensued at the Deansgate-Castlefield station.
As a third male tried to intervene, he was then punched in the face, knocked to the floor and taken to hospital for treatment. Callum Hinds, 26, was arrested at the scene by transport officers.
He was later charged with grievous bodily harm (section 20) assault and was remanded in custody. He plead guilty to the offence in court and was bailed to attend court for sentencing.
