Police are appealing for help in catching a robber armed with a knife who held up a Brighton hamburger bar.

The man leapt over the counter of Uncle Sam's, Carden Road, on Sunday night and threatened staff with a large knife.

He stole money from the till before running off.

A police spokesman said the man was wearing a light-coloured hooded top.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Det Con Cressida Stephenson at Brighton CID on 0845 6070999.
