A young man, naked to the waist and with a pierced nipple, is one of two men being sought by police in connection with a mugging.

Two women were robbed outside Mulberry Wines, Lewes Road, Brighton, at 10.45am yesterday.

The two men, who were both black, first demanded a woman in her 70s hand over her purse, then they forced a young woman coming out of the shop to give them all the money she had.

One of the men was wearing a pair of bright orange fluorescent shorts and no top showing a pierced right nipple. He also had a name tattooed on his right shoulder. Both men were in their 20s and had short dark hair.

Police are appealing for anybody who saw the mugging or the two men running away to get in touch with Sussex Police on 0845 6070999.
