Police are hunting two men who attacked a gay couple outside the Palace Pier in Brighton.
A 19-year-old man from Swindon and his 38-year-old boyfriend from Australia were passing the pier at about 11.45pm last Wednesday when two men began shouting homophobic insults.
Both victims were punched in the face, causing the younger man to suffer a split lip which needed stitches.
His boyfriend had cuts below his left eye.
The attackers fled along Madeira Drive. Both were white and in their 20s. One was blond, 6ft and slim with jeans and a black shirt.
The other man was 5ft 7in and wore a black T-shirt with a logo and black trousers.
