A MAN admitted two counts of grievous bodily harm (GBH) preventing his trial from going ahead.
Pedro Maca’s trial had been set to get underway at Worcester Crown Court on Tuesday, (June 6), with an expectation it would last two to three days.
But the 48-year-old, of Yew Tree Close, off London Road, Worcester, admitted two counts before a jury was sworn in to hear the case in courtroom two.

When the indictment was read out to him by the court clerk Maca pleaded guilty to two counts of GBH, and one count of possessing a bladed sharp article, a knife, in a public place.
Judge Nicholas Cartwright agreed two other offences on the indictment, both section 18 wounding with intent, should lie on file.
Maca is now set to return to the court at a later date for sentencing.
