A TEENAGER has been arrested after a foot chase through a town centre amid a series of anti-social behaviour complaints.
Police received a number of reports of a group of teenagers acting anti-socially in West Street, Horsham, on Monday, April 11.
Members of the public and shop workers reported a group “shouting, swearing, spitting, threatening staff and attempting to steal a push bike” at 2.55pm, Horsham Police said.
Police attended the scene and after a short foot chase through the town centre detained a teenager.
He was arrested on suspicion of assault on an emergency worker and a public order offence.
A Horsham Police spokeswoman said: “Any anti-social behaviour in Horsham will be dealt with robustly.
“If you witness an offence being committed, please call 999 in case of emergency or 101 for non-emergency.”
