He had pleaded not guilty, but changed this to guilty when he appeared at Reading Magistrates Court on March 25.

He must pay £693 costs, but no order for compensation was made as the injury inflicted during the resistance was not considered to be serious.

Singh may pay at a rate of £20 per month.
