A 30-year-old man arrested after an armed siege in London Road, Brighton, on Monday night (February 4), has been released on bail.

The man was held after armed police cordoned off an area of the road shortly after 7.30pm on Monday.

Eventually a man emerged from a flat and said: "Don't shoot."

He was arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. 

Sussex Police confirmed this morning that he has been released on bail until March 13 while they investigate further.
