Police are appealing for witnesses to a violent street attack on a man in Brighton.

The incident began at about 3.30am last Saturday in Shoosh Nightclub in Kings Road Arches when a fight between two groups of men took place on the dance floor.

The fight broke up and about 15 minutes later both groups left Shoosh and made their way to the southern end of East Street near to Platinum Lace.

There was then another fight during which several men were injured.

One man, an 18-year old from south-east London, suffered a broken jaw and was treated at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.

A 31-year old man from Saltdean was arrested later the same day and after being interviewed was bailed until May 24 while enquiries continue.

Detective Constable Steve Amner said; "We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the fight in Shoosh and/or the fight which took place in East Street shortly afterwards."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting serial 188 of April 11.
