Adam Hammill admits attacking two women paramedics
Wolves footballer Adam Hammill has admitted attacking two women paramedics who were trying to help him during a night out.
Magistrates were told the winger tried to bite the two 999 workers after they found him in a drunken state in Liverpool city centre on October 7. During a hearing at Liverpool Magistrates Court yesterday, prosecutor Amanda Haycock said ambulance workers Sky Armstrong and Tracy Northey were called out because Hammill was unconscious.
But when they tried to put him in a wheelchair the 24-year-old became aggressive.
Miss Haycock said: "He hit out, catching Miss Northey on the nose, spat blood at them and tried to bite them."
She said police officers called to help the paramedics heard Hammill verbally abuse them and they could smell alcohol on him.
She said: "Despite appearing extremely drunk he had a very strong grip and was difficult to restrain." She said he was handcuffed and had to be "pinned down" to the bed in the ambulance to be restrained. Miss Northey was described as "shaken, shocked and angered by what had happened".
Hammill, of Hall Road East, Bootle, admitted two counts of assault. The winger, on loan at Huddersfield, will be sentenced next Tuesday, when the court will hear mitigation.
A Huddersfield Town spokesman said the player had been disciplined by the club but could face fresh action after sentencing.
