Two arrested after Worthing assault

Sussex Police said officers received a reporter of a 15-year-old boy being attacked by two young people on The Strand shortly before 5.30pm.

The victim was found at the scene with a minor hand injury, police said, but a search of the scene found no trace of the suspects.

Enquiries led police to arrest two boys, aged 14 and 16, on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent. They are both in custody.

Investigations are ongoing and anyone who saw what happened, or who has any other information, is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 1101 of 15/03.
