Police are investigating after an elderly man was so seriously injured he needed hospital treatment after he was assaulted in a car-park in Crawley.

Officers were called to the car park of the Asda store in Pegler Way around 10.55am on Saturday (July 10).

Police said the victim of the attack, an 80-year-old man, remained in hospital the next day.

A 29-year-old man from Crawley has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm — he remained in custody on Sunday.

The car park was busy at the time of the assault, and officers investigating the matter are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 493 of 10/07.

Alternatively, the independent charity Crimestoppers receives anonymous reports on 0800 555 111.
