A 22-YEAR-OLD was beaten up, thrown in the boot of a car and then beaten again.
The 22-year-old met a man he knows in London Road, Brighton and got into a silver BMW saloon car.
Two other men got in and he was taken to nearby Tarner Park where he was attacked and put into the boot of the car.
He was then taken to a layby in Ditchling Road and assaulted again.
