FOUR men have been arrested after a nightclub security officer was stabbed in the leg on the beach at Brighton. 

The 24-year-old victim was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, for treatment to a small wound to his thigh suffered during the incident just before 12 midnight on Saturday (4 July).

The incident appears to have happened after a group of men had been denied access to a number of seafront clubs.

Three men from north London, aged 20, 24 and 25, along with a 26-year-old man from Ilford, were arrested on suspicion of affray. The 24-year-old was also arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis. All were bailed until September 16.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting serial 2035 of 04/07.
