The thug appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff court and admitted attacking Mr Bejnar, resulting in him falling down a flight of stairs.
When police arrived at the scene in Paisley's Gryffe Crescent King accepted to being "more than a wee bit violent" and asked if they would get in touch with his mother to look after his dog.
Prosecutor Mark Nicol explained: "At around midnight on August 24, Bejnar was within his home address in Gryffe Crescent and due to loud music and noise coming from the accused's flat, he couldn't sleep.
"Bejnar attended at the accused's front door and gained entry. Witness Anderson at this time was close to the front door walking her dog and she observed the complainer in possession of a pole-like object.
"Anderson then returned to her property. Bejnar knocked on the door of the accused's flat and the accused answered and words were exchanged between the two.
"King then picked up a hammer from within his flat and struck Bejnar several times to his arms and the back of the head and then pushed him which caused him to fall down a flight of stairs."
The court heard how Ms Anderson could hear a disturbance from within her flat.
Mr Nicol added: "Anderson heard a voice she recognised to be that of King's stating, 'You'll not be back Polish boy'.
"Bejnar got to his feet and made his way back down the close and was bleeding from the injury sustained to the back of his head. King also returned to his home address.
"The accused stated to a friend within his flat that he had a fight in the hall and it's been going on for several months.
"King stated words similar to, 'that should be it now'.
"Police were contacted by Bejnar and when they arrived at his flat, they found him to be bleeding heavily from a laceration to the back of his head and there was bruising to his arms and back."
King was arrested and taken to Greenock police station.
Mr Nicol added: "While under caution to officers, King stated, 'fine, I did it. I did it. The hammer is under the sink. I mean I did something tonight. It was more than retaliation. It was more than being a wee bit violent.
"'It was serious you know. Is he alright? Please tell me he's alright. I thought to myself, if I don't send him home with a hole in his head or kneecap him, he's just going to come back. And you know these people, they come back in their hundreds. Did it, I did it, I know I'm going down for this, I'll admit to the lot, just make sure my dog is okay, contact my mum to look after him'.
"King, while being processed, was found to have blood in his hands and was, thereafter, cautioned and charged where he replied, 'shocked'."
Police traced a hammer in King's property and a metal pole which had been discarded in the garden.
Bejnar was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital and found to have three fractures on his lower back which would heal over a period of 12 weeks with the assistance of a back brace.
He also suffered a head injury which was "quite deep" and will leave permanent scars.
Defence agent Mr Porter asked for background reports.
Sheriff Brian Mohan said: "You have quite a significant record of violence and of domestic crimes but you have never served a custodial sentence.
"My primary consideration is custody given the level of violence here."
King was remanded for the preparation of a criminal justice social work report and will return for sentencing on December 30.
