Muggers attacked two teenagers outside a bank, punching them and demanding money.

The 17-year-olds were stopped by two men outside Barclays Bank in Boundary Road, Portslade.

One of the teenagers was punched twice in the head and once in the stomach.

Both of the attackers were white, the first about 6ft 1in tall with short brown hair.

He wore a light-coloured waist-length jacket and spoke with a local accent.

The second was about 5ft 10in tall and stocky with short dark brown hair.

He wore a dark long-sleeved sweatshirt with black trousers and black laced shoes.
