A "chance encounter" in a park in Leicester led to the death of a "defenceless" grandfather who was floored by a single punch.
Leicestershire Police said Joshua Moore was riding a quad bike with a young child when he confronted 62-year-old James McKeown as he walked home from a pub through Beaumont Leys Park on 6 April.
Leicestershire Police said Moore hit McKeown once, causing him to fall to the ground and suffer a head injury. He died a short time later in hospital.
The 33-year-old, of Fowler Close, Beaumont Leys, pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Leicester Crown Court on Thursday, and will be sentenced on 31 July.
Police said after attacking McKeown, Moore placed him in the recovery position and left the park on the quad bike, with no attempt to contact emergency services.
