Officers are appealing for witnesses after a report of a theft and assault in Bond Street, Brighton on Saturday, 8 March at around 11.15pm.
Police responded to the incident following a report that a man had his wallet stolen and was assaulted in the street. His wallet was later recovered; however, his money and cards were missing.
The suspect was described as wearing a blue Nike Tech fleece tracksuit, and he was accompanied by a second man.
Following the incident, the men then left the scene in the direction of Church Street.
On Thursday, 20 March, a 32-year-old man from Eastbourne was arrested on suspicion of common assault, theft and possession of a bladed article in a public place. He has since been released on bail while further enquiries remain ongoing.
We believe there were many witnesses to the incident and are asking anyone who saw what happened to make a report to police. We also would like to speak with anyone who has CCTV in the area, as this could also assist further police enquiries.
To make a report, contact police online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 1568 of 08/03.
