Pictures show the emergency response to a seafront incident which saw a man arrested.

The incident, which began at around 11am, led to Marine Parade being closed off between Eaton Place and Paston Place.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said: "We are currently responding to a report of a man causing a disturbance in Marine Parade, Brighton. This has included objects being thrown from a flat.

"A section of the A259 has been temporarily closed in both directions to ensure the safety of the public, emergency service responders and the man."



Items thrown from the window could be seen strewn on the ground, with piles of furniture and belongings on the floor.

The spokesman added: "He has been arrested in connection with the incident and is receiving medical treatment.

"The road will be reopened as soon as it is safe to do so, and we thank the public for their patience and understanding."

Passersby saw a man being wheeled out on a stretcher.
