Business owners in the street say most of the problems are during the evening as clubbers make their way home from the city centre.
Tamir Basilious, manager at phone shop Global Links who has been working in the street for seven years, said: “Sometimes there’s crazy people and a few fights.
"I saw a guy going crazy and shouting at people outside – he grabbed someone’s phone and threw it on the floor.
"We sometimes get stolen phones in here but we check the numbers and report it."
Businesses said Brilliant Brighton ambassadors – a support group for traders _ visit once a week and help enormously.
