TWO teenagers were stabbed in a "nasty attack" outside a Tesco supermarket.

They were attacked outside the store in Brooks Road in Lewes, with a third also assaulted but not stabbed.

Detectives are looking to identify two people as part of an investigation into the incident, which happened at around 11.15pm on Saturday, August 20.

Both are white and in their mid-to-late teens.

One was wearing a black zip-up hoody with white sides, dark-coloured trousers and white trainers.

The other was seen wearing a light-coloured hoody zipped up and a pair of light-coloured trousers, with distinctive dark-coloured pockets.

Detective Constable Sarah Pittmann said: “This was an unprovoked and nasty attack in which two of the victims were stabbed as well as punched and kicked, the third victim was also punched.

“I am keen to hear from anyone who can identify these people as well as anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have any information in relation to it.”
