A teenager threw a bicycle and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on his unconscious victim after he fell out with a fellow resident in Inverness supported accommodation for young people.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted at Inverness Sheriff Court an assault to injury which occurred on May 9, 2022 at Planefield House, in Montague Row, Inverness.
Sheriff Gary Aitken was told the youth was currently serving a 12-month sentence of detention for another matter although it is under appeal.
Fiscal depute Robert Weir told the court that the teenager repeatedly punched and kicked his victim on the head and body, threw a bicycle at him, then threw him to the ground after something was said between them.
Mr Weir added: "Paramedics were called but the victim refused to go to the hospital."
Sentence was deferred until August 23 for a background report.
