Jamie Smith had been due to stand trial on the charge at Bolton Crown Court at the beginning of the year but the case was adjourned to September and then postponed again due to the barristers' strike.

And then at the latest hearing he entered a guilty plea to the incident on Coronation Avenue, Spar Road and Hillside Avenue in Atherton on February 20 back in 2020.

Smith, 31, of Atherton Road in Hindley, was released on bail pending his sentencing by a judge on January 16.
