A hunt supporter who was caught on camera smashing car windows of a group of terrified saboteurs has pleaded guilty to ABH and criminal damage.
Barry Watson leapt from his Land Rover and used a torch to smash the windows of a Mitsubishi Shogun carrying members of the anti-hunt group.
As the saboteurs drove off, he threw the torch after the car - but it flew through one of the windows and hit a man in the back.
Watson, 48, chased the men at high speed from the scene of the attack just a few miles from his home in Glatton, Cambs., to Peterborough Police Station, where he fled.
North Cambridgeshire Hunt Saboteurs Association has been monitoring the Fitzwilliam Hunt when they were set upon in a narrow country lane.
