Police have charged a man after two "good Samaritans" were attacked with an unknown substance in Eastbourne.

Officers were called to St Anne’s Road at 8.51am on Saturday (August 29) to reports of a road traffic collision involving a black Renault Megane.

The driver got out of the vehicle and allegedly threw a liquid — thought by police to be ammonia — in the faces of two members of the public.

Both men received medical attention for minor injuries.

Frank Graham, 38, of Upperton Road in Eastbourne, has been charged with a number of offences:

  • two counts of throwing a corrosive fluid with intent
  • assaulting an emergency worker
  • aggravated vehicle taking
  • vehicle damage
  • possession of Class A drugs
  • possession of Class B drugs
  • driving without a licence
  • driving without insurance

He was remanded in custody to appear before Brighton Magistrates' Court earlier today (31 August).

Sussex Police have appealed for information either to be submitted online, or by calling 101 quoting serial 845 of 28/08.
