A 15-YEAR-OLD has been arrested after a man suffered a suspected dislocated jaw in an assault near the i360 in Brighton last night.

The 22-year-old man was approached by a group of youths and attacked at about 10.15pm, in Lower Kings Road, before they made off towards Hove Lawns.

Officers arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm shortly after the assault was reported. He is in custody.

Detective sergeant Lynda Lynch said: "This was a nasty assault and we believe there are a number of suspects involved in this incident.

"The victim has gone to hospital to seek treatment for his injury and we are appealing for witnesses to the assault to come forward."

Anyone who can help our investigation should report online or ring 101 quoting serial 1651 of 29/05.
