Two Teenagers Arrested On Suspicion Of Numerous Assaults And Robbery In Brighton

Two teenagers have been arrested following a number of assaults and a robbery that happened overnight in the city on Tuesday (Feb 8).

One man received facial injuries at the basketball courts near Shelter Hall on the seafront at around 10.10pm.

Around five minutes later, police heard that two men leaving a car park in Cannon Street were approached by a pair of teenagers and assaulted.

A fourth man was approached by two men wearing balaclavas in East Street, who attempted to steal his mobile phone, assaulted him and threatened to stab him.

Two males were then spotted harassing members of the public by security at the East Street Tap.

Police were called and, after searching the area, arrested two suspects matching descriptions from some of the victims.

They were taken into custody at 3.22am.

Two 18-year-old men from Brighton were arrested on suspicion of robbery, while one was further arrested for breaching a non-molestation order.

Both have been released on conditional bail while enquiries continue.
