Man pleads guilty to assaulting Redfoo

A man who threw a glass at X Factor judge Redfoo during a night out at a Sydney pub has pleaded guilty to assault.

The more serious charge of reckless wounding was dropped when Arian Berisha, 21, entered his plea at the Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday.

Redfoo - whose real name is Stefan Gordy - was hit by the glass as he left a VIP section at the popular eastern suburbs pub, The Golden Sheaf Hotel, in Double Bay last August.

The big-haired American suffered a cut above his right eye and was treated by paramedics.

Berisha, from Waverley in Sydney's eastern suburbs, appeared briefly in court.

He will be sentenced at the same court on May 26.
