A hotel night-porter was assaulted with a snooker cue after discovering burglars on the premises.
Two men were disturbed after they had broken into the Royal Hotel in Bognor in the early hours of yesterday.
They held the cue across the porter's throat before releasing him and running off.
The men are both described as about 22, about 5ft 9in and of medium build.
One had short dark hair and was wearing a black leather jacket and the other was wearing denim jeans and something covering his face.
