A MAN has admitted assaulting a woman.

Daryl Ashley List was charged with assaulting Shannon Allonby by beating her in Barrow on July 8.

The 31-year-old pleaded guilty to the charge when he appeared before South Cumbria Magistrates' Court.

List, of Greystone Lane in Dalton, saw his case adjourned to allow the Probation Service to produce a report on his background ahead of sentencing.

He is due to appear at the same court to be sentenced on January 25 and has been bailed with conditions until that date.
