Baton wielding police clashed with protesters on Wednesday as an anti-arms demo erupted into violence.

Around a dozen people were injured as skirmishes flared during the demo - the latest in a series aimed at EDO, the Brighton-based weapons hardware manufacturer.

The main flash point occurred on Lewes Road, by the junction with Home Farm Road, as around 400 protesters came up against police.
