A gang beat a man up in an unprovoked attack in Brighton.

The 31-year-old suffered a broken nose when he was set upon by three boys and three girls, all in their teens.

One hit him in the stomach and a second broke his nose as he walked along a path from the A259 into Brighton Marina at about 7.20pm on Sunday.

The first youth was described as white, 15 or 16, 5ft 6in, average build, with acne, ginger hair and a gelled fringe.

He wore a dark top and light trousers.

The second was white, also 15 or 16, slim, with short dark hair.

He wore a dark blue padded jacket and dark blue jeans.

The injured man needed treatment at the Royal Sussex County Hospital for his injuries.

Anyone who saw what happened or the group involved is asked to call Sussex Police on 0845 6070999, quoting serial 1166 of December 19.
