Appeal after a man is seriously assaulted in Hove

We are appealing for witnesses following a report that a man was seriously assaulted in Church Road, Hove, near the junction of Second Avenue on Saturday (July 27) at around 11.05pm.

A man in his 50s sustained serious facial injuries and a bleed on the brain during the incident, and he was taken to hospital, where he remains at this time.

Police arrested a 28-year-old man from Hove on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.

It is believed that there were many witnesses to the incident, and we are appealing for anyone with information to contact police.

You can make a report to online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 1592 of 27/07.
