A HAVE-A-GO hero helped police tackle a wanted man in Brighton city centre.

Nichola Wilson, who lives in Broad Street, assisted officers in one of their arrests in her road.

She was in the Marine Tavern pub when she noticed the commotion and saw a young man running from police.

The 46-year-old said: "I threw the A-board outside in front of him to try to stop him.

"It didn't hit him, but it slowed him down.

"Then police arrested him and put him in the back of the car."

When we arrived on the scene at 12.30pm, one of the men was sitting in the back of a car before another two were taken out of houses in the road.

The Argus is currently awaiting a comment from Sussex Police.
