Daylight attacker sought

The 24-year-old was attacked by another man in Third Avenue, Pebsham, at around 11am. He suffered bruising to his head and a black eye.

His attacker is described as a white man, aged 26 or 27, 6ft 3ins tall, of stocky build and with short shaved black hair. He was wearing shorts, a white zip-up hooded top and white trainers.

Police believe the assault may have been witnessed by the occupants of a small silver motor car, being driven by a woman with a male passenger who spoke with the victim.

PC Rob Fagg said: “This was an unprovoked assault in broad daylight. I am keen to trace any witnesses, and in particular the occupants of the silver vehicle.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Sussex Police on 101, quoting serial 847 of 30/06, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
