Police said Samuel Giles Colecrook kicked two officers in the head after he was handcuffed - one of the officers was treated by paramedics at the scene.

Colecrook pleaded guilty in Kempsey Local Court on Friday to affray, resisting an officer in the execution of duty, and four counts of assaulting an officer in the execution of duty.

He was granted conditional bail and will be sentenced on August 5.
