POLICE were called to a "serious incident" in London Road tonight.
A homeless man is believed to have been involved in an altercation.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: Outside the Aldi supermarket in London Road a homeless male who was believed to have taken something was sitting drinking a bottle of cider.
"He was clearly inebriated and was throwing things into the road and trying to start a fight.
"He was sitting wrapped in a blanket that was covered in blood."
A witness, who didn't want to be named, said: "I saw this homeless guy getting angry and then he seemed to smash a bottle over his own head and it looked as though the cut was nasty. It seemed like a serious incident."
