A man has admitted stabbing a bouncer in the neck after he was assaulted by a group of doormen in Concert Square in Liverpool city centre.
Kyle Crowe, 21, argued with doorman Kieran Sheridan, 23, outside Modo Bar at around 9pm on Saturday, August 23.
Crowe, of Swallowhurst Crescent in Norris Green, is alleged to have told the bouncer: “I will cut you up,” after he was asked to leave the area.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that Crowe was pushed over by Mr Sheridan, before he was “attacked” by a group of security staff.
Crowe then left the scene, armed himself with a knife and returned to the bar at around 10pm, when he stabbed Mr Sheridan in the neck.
Crowe, with short brown hair and wearing a grey sweatshirt, appeared at court today via video link from HMP Altcourse.
He pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon.
Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, said Crowe denied threatening to cut the doorman before he was assaulted by the bouncers.
He said this was not accepted by the prosecution, but would not be subject to a legal hearing to establish whether or not it was said.
Mr Blasbery said: “There has been an altercation with a doorman. In his victim statement he says he pushed the defendant to the ground and he was on his back.
“The victim has been economical in his evidence in terms of what has taken place after. There is clearly an assault by a number of doormen.
“He has gone away, armed himself with a knife, come back and stabbed him.”
The court heard Crowe has no previous convictions.
Judge Alan Conrad, QC, adjourned sentencing until November 26 and remanded Crowe in custody.
