A man has pleaded guilty to spitting on an MP outside a railway station.

Kenny Defelice, 44, approached Jamie Wallis, the Conservative MP for Bridgend, at London Paddington asking for a cigarette.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard Mr Wallis was on his phone while Defelice kept asking and then spat, hitting the MP on his chest and chin.

Defelice, from Harrow, north-west London, admitted carrying out the assault on 24 September last year.
