CCTV image released by Sussex Police of a man they would like to talk to in connection with the incident
A 13-year-old boy who kicked a bottle along the ground was assaulted by an older man he annoyed, police say.
Now police have released an image of a man they want to talk to in connection with the incident in Montague Street, Worthing, on October 13 at 1.15pm.
Police said the boy “became scared” and ran into The Brighthouse shop where he hid behind the counter. The man then grabbed him, took him outside and assaulted him but he was not injured.
Witnesses should call Sussex Police on 101.

Perhaps if he'd put it in the bin there wouldn't have been a problem.

More power to him and I shall not give him up....
There's more to this than we are reading here....
