A THUG pulled a woman to the floor by her hair during a shocking attack on the street.

Police have appealed for witnesses after the 33-year-old woman suffered bruises to her arm in Penfold Way in Worthing.

The attack happened at 9.30pm on Saturday, December 15 near a parked van, which the suspect then drove away.

PC Nadine Curtis said police want to track down a fast food delivery driver who is reported to have been in the road at the same time.

She said a 42-year-old man from Worthing was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm.

He was interviewed by police and released on police bail until January 7 while the investigation continues. Anyone with information can report it online or by calling 101 and quoting reference 1118 of 15/12.
