The victim, who is a wheelchair user, suffered minor injuries during the altercation.

“This is a despicable crime and throughout our investigation Mappin has shown no remorse, despite his guilty plea."

The number of children expelled from schools in Wakefield has almost trebled in less than a decade, according to a council report.

A total of 83 pupils were permanently excluded during the 2017/18 academic year, compared with just 30 in 2009/10.

A council report on the issue said the figures showed a similar pattern to other authorities across the UK.

It added the most common reasons for expelling a pupil were persistent disruptive behaviour, verbal abuse against an adult and physical assault on a student.

The report, which will be discussed by councillors next week, said that a special team run by the authority was working with schools to keep the number of expulsions down.

It is the second dedicated travellers' site built by the council in Leeds.
