A Dundee man who bit a door steward on the face has been banned from returning to Aberdeen.
Victim Daniel Bickmore had to take medication for six weeks after the attack by James Bryson last month.
The doorman also had to be tested for contagious diseases after he was left with a cut to his cheek in the assault.
Bryson, of Harris Terrace, Dundee, appeared from custody at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday, where he admitted the crime.
Mr Bickmore was attacked while he was at work at Bells Bar on Union Street on September 30.
The court heard Bryson was being thrown out of the pub after a disturbance when he turned on his victim at about 12.30am.
He punched Mr Bickmore in the head before biting him, leaving a cut on his left cheek. The court heard the injury was not expected to leave him scarred for life.
Defence agent John Ferrie said his client had no memory of the incident.
The solicitor said: ”He had been in a nightclub in Aberdeen and was drinking to excess. He has no knowledge of the incident itself.
”He had no knowledge that he himself was detained by paramedics for injuries he had sustained.”
The court heard the 26-year-old had an ”unenviable” list of previous convictions.
Mr Ferrie said his offending had increased after he was stabbed eight times in an incident in Manchester in 2008.
”Since then his pattern of offending has taken a completely new line, with a number of incidents of violence and assaults,” he said.
Sentence was deferred for Bryson to see a psychologist for a background report.
Sheriff Michael Wood released him on bail with the special condition that he was not to return to Aberdeen until sentence on October 25. Bryson will also be subject to a curfew condition of bail.
