Alex Hutton also admitted having a bladed article in public

An alleged far-right extremist has admitted assaulting a woman.

Alex Hutton, 18, from Morriston, in Swansea, pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm on 20 May.

The teenager also admitted having a bladed article in public in November and breaching a criminal behaviour order imposed on 9 September, 2021.

The defendant, also known as Alex Edwards, entered his pleas at the Old Bailey by video link from Wormwood Scrubs on Friday.

He was not asked to enter pleas to attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and disseminating terrorist publications.

The terrorism offence, alleged to have taken place between September 24 and November 16, is believed to relate to an extreme right-wing homemade video.
