A WOMAN being hunted by police following an assault has been arrested.

Officers wanted to speak to Kelly Joanna Pragnell following an attack in Cade Street, Eastbourne, in February.

Sussex Police issued an appeal for the public's help in finding the 32-year-old of Pelham Close, Pevensey.

As well as helping officers investigating the assault, she was also wanted after allegedly breaching her bail conditions.

Pragnell, who has a distinctive piercing on her upper lip, was detained by officers on Wednesday (October 19).

She is currently in police custody.
