A bike was stolen during a ‘physical altercation’ in Eastbourne.
The fight took place on Wednesday, August 24 at around 10.30am on King Edward Parade, near the junction with Bolsover Road.
It was reported that a man was cycling on the road and was passed by a green Volkswagen Caddy.
The cyclist approached the motorist after the vehicle had parked nearby, and a verbal altercation took place between the two men.
During this a camera mounted to the victim’s bike was allegedly removed by the driver.
Police said that following a "physical altercation de-escalated by members of the public", the driver left the scene and the cyclist noticed that the camera was missing.
Police have since arrested a 63-year-old man on suspicion of robbery. He has been bailed as investigations are ongoing.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: “Officers are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry and encourage anyone who witnessed the incident or who has relevant information such as CCTV or mobile footage to report it to us.
“You can do this online or by dialling 101 quoting serial 518 of 24/08.”
