Detectives are hunting a sex attacker who seriously assaulted a girl.
It happened early on Sunday at the lower end of Montpelier Road, Brighton.
After the incident a man walked the young girl along the seafront and then along Kingsway towards Hove Lagoon.
She then flagged down a taxi driver in New Church Road, Hove, at 4am who drove her to Pelham Street, Brighton.

They are appealing for the taxi driver or any witnesses to contact Brighton CID on 0845 6070999.
