A man was robbed at knifepoint in Hailsham after an argument broke out in the early hours.

Police said a group of youths had got into an argument with the driver and passengers of a gold Vauxhall Cavalier.

The incident happened between 2.30am and 3am on the junction of Harmers Hay and Battle Road, Hailsham.

After exchanging words the group on foot split up and one walked along Battle Road.

The Vauxhall suddenly pulled up next to him. Two masked men got out and produced a penknife before stripping him of jewellery and cash.
