Thugs made Nazi salutes after carrying out homophobic attacks on three men.

The victims were outside the Bulldog pub in St James's Street, Brighton, at 8.40pm on Sunday when they were assaulted.

One man, 25, suffered a cut to his forehead and a second, 34, suffered bruising.

At 11.20pm police believe the same group were involved in an incident outside Jennifer's off-licence at the foot of St James's Street.

They smashed one of the shop windows, assaulted members of the public and made Nazi salutes.

Ten minutes later five men were arrested. Police appealed for witnesses.
