Four people punched and attempted to snatch a 61-year-old man's bike.
The man, from Pevensey, was cycling home from work near Eastbourne beach on Wednesday, April 11 at around 9.50pm.
He stopped near to the bandstand to have a drink. Three men and a woman tried to take his bike but when unsuccessful, they punched him.
DC Stuart Black said: "He was thankfully not seriously hurt.
"The prom was busy at the time and it is most likely there were students on the beach close to where this incident took place."
