A bus passenger was punched repeatedly in the face in a street attack as he waited outside a shopping centre.

An 18-year-old man from Shoreham was waiting at a bus stop outside Churchill Square in Brighton when he was approached by a group of young men who stole his phone at around 1am on Saturday morning.

He was then set upon suffering a blow of punches to his face which broke his jaw.

Sussex Police are now looking for a group of “three or four skinny boys” aged between 14 and 16-years-old and wearing hooded tops.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 105 of 7/12.
