A MAN arrested in connection with a serious stabbing is on the run from police.

Rupert Delamare, 23, was arrested on October 15 after a 24-year-old man from Croydon

was stabbed in the chest on Lower Esplanade near the junction with Ship Street in Brighton.

Delamare was released on bail after being interviewed but failed to report.

He is white, 5ft 10ins, of slim build and with brown hair.

Detective Sergeant Cheryl Lewendon said: “Extensive enquiries have been made to trace Delamare but although so far we have not found him we believe he may still be in the Brighton and Hove area.

“If you know where he may be, do not approach him yourself but please contact us on 101.”
