Revolution Bar on Cross Church Street
A man woke up in the hospital after being assaulted at a nightclub in the city center, a court heard.
Matthew driver was unconscious after the attack on the revolution while enjoying Christmas drinks with friends.
James Taylor, of William Street in Crosland Moor, pleaded guilty to the assault in Magistrates Court Kirklees.
The judges were told that the incident occurred on December 23.
He said that a sales team leader for Currys, Mr. Driver was out of town with friends and colleagues.
At 22:30 the group finished at Revolution Cross Church Street.
James Weekes, prosecuting, said Mr Driver described himself as gay at this time and a bit wobbly.
He told the judges that his group came across another group of men that included Taylor.
An altercation took place which spilled from the smoking area of the bar to the street, magistrates were told.
Mr. Weekes said: "He ( Mr Driver) was hit on the head, fell to the ground and kicked on the body.
“He said that the accused was really going for it. Recalled that he kicked himself in the head at least once.
“(Mr Driver) thought he was eliminated as the next thing I remembered was waking up in Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.”
Another witness described Taylor Jonathan Bray as walking towards the driver man with a determined look on his face.
He said Taylor, 31, punched him at least seven times in the face and body.
Taylor admitted assault but on a base.
He said he saw a group of men pushing each other in the bar.
As a couple of his friends were involved with it intervened to separate them, he said.
The judges decided that the different versions of the fight would make a difference in the eventual judgment of Taylor.
They said they will hold a Newton hearing, a form of mini - trial to determine the true facts of the case.
This will take place on July 25 and Taylor will be sentenced later.
