Detectives are continuing to investigate the incident in the hope of gathering evidence which will lead to the arrest of Moynes.

Detective Amy Summers said: “Sussex Police launched an investigation into this horrific attack as soon as it was reported on February 11 and a suspect – Bradley Moynes – was swiftly identified.

“Officers have been working with our partners in the community and neighbouring forces to urgently bring Moynes into custody for questioning, but he remains at large.

“Our greatest sympathies go out to all three victims of this unprovoked attack, one of whom suffered serious facial injuries.

"I’d like to thank everyone who has come forward with information. We know Moynes had been in The Town House earlier that evening, and we would urge anyone with any information to report it to us.”

Julia Wakelin, who works at Bar Blue and witnessed the attack, said there had been an incident inside shortly before the attack.

"It was just as I opened the door that he got sprayed and I remember thinking that I had been hit as well because the fumes immediately made my eyes burn, made my nose burn, made my throat burn,” she said.

"In that split second I thought, oh my god, something really terrible has just happened."

Detective Summers added: “If you know where Bradley Moynes could be or have any information about the incident, please report it online, or call 101 quoting serial 1393 of 11/02.

“If you see Moynes, do not approach him, but call 999 immediately, quoting the serial above.”
