    A Harrogate man has admitted pulling off the wing of a pigeon in Harrogate town centre.

    Martin Gilham, 53, of Bewerley Road in Jennyfields, pleaded guilty to the offence on Oxford Street at Harrogate Magistrates Court yesterday.

    Gilham also admitted a separate charge of being drunk and disorderly on Oxford Street on the same date.

    The incidents took place on May 20 this year.

    Gilham initially denied the charges but changed his pleas.

    He is due to be sentenced at York Crown Court on August 17.
