A tourist bit the end of another man's nose during a nightclub scuffle in Aviemore causing permanent damage to the victim, a court has heard.
Stephen Cosgrove (30) had been visiting the Vault club in the village when he was asked to leave, Inverness Sheriff Court was told earlier today.
He had ended up in a row with a man in the early hours of March 6, last year, after an altercation while visiting the toilets.
After being taken out the fire exit a fight ensued in which the end of the man's nose was severely bitten, fiscal depute Robert Weir told the court.
The prosecutor said the man would require plastic surgery to fix the damage to his face.
Cosgrove, of Queens Crescent, Aberdeen, admitted punching the man on his head and body as well as biting him on the face to his injury and permanent disfigurement.
He also admitted assaulting a bouncer on the same night at the venue by punching him on the body.
A third charge of culpable and reckless conduct was admitted by spitting in the presence of the doorman.
Sheriff Gary Aitken deferred sentence until March 10 for background reports to be made available.
