Renewed Appeal For Man Wanted In Eastbourne For Spraying Noxious Substance

Police in Eastbourne are still searching for this man, suspected of spraying a noxious substance into the faces of three men last Friday (Feb 11).

The 26-year-old local man was sprayed by the substance outside Blue Bar Café in Pevensey Road around 10.50pm

He was taken to hospital for treatment and is now continuing his recovery at home.

Two other men were also hit with the substance and received immediate first aid. All three reported experiencing pain and discomfort to their eyes.

Detectives are continuing enquiries to gather evidence and to locate the suspect pictured.

Detective Sergeant David Hawes, of Eastbourne Investigations, said:

“Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone who has come forward with information. We know Moynes had been in The Town House earlier that evening, and we would urge anyone with any information to report it to us.

“This was a horrific and unprovoked attack which left three men in need of first aid treatment. While our enquiries are ongoing to identify the substance used, it is clear from the effects it has caused that it is some form of noxious substance.

“No arrests have been made and we are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident at this time.”

Anyone who knows where Moynes could be or who has information about the incident is urged to report it online or call 101, quoting serial 1393 of 11/02.

You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or report it online.
