A brute repeatedly stamped on a young girl’s head. 

Thug Harley Craig admitted he assaulted the female in April last year, at a property in Barrhead causing her injury and to the “danger of her life.” 

Craig, who turned 19 at the weekend, uttered threats of violence towards the girl who can’t be named for legal reasons. 

The bully struck her on the head with a glass bottle causing it to smash, repeatedly punched and kicked her on the body.

Craig committed this offence while on five separate bail orders granted at Paisley Sheriff Court. 

Craig’s defence agent asked for reports to be prepared. 

Sheriff Sheena Fraser adjourned sentencing for a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment. 

Craig was remanded in custody and will return to court for sentencing next month.
