Man admits egg attack on Sir Stuart Bell
1:30pm Monday 13th February 2012
A MAN has admitted pelting an MP with eggs at a Remembrance Sunday parade, the latest incident in a 20-year dispute.
Terry Dixon, 54, from Liverton Avenue, Middlesbrough, attacked the town's Labour MP Sir Stuart Bell on November 13 last year.
Dixon changed his plea to guilty at Teesside Magistrates' Court this morning, after previously denying assault.
The court heard that Dixon is unhappy with the way police investigated an assault on his son that left him with horrific injuries, and that when he contacted Sir Stuart for assistance, it was not given.
Dixon will be sentenced on March 5.
