A man from Brighton have been arrested after reports of damaged vehicles in the city on Monday (January 18).

Police said a man was reportedly keying cars and behaving in an aggressive manner in Chatham Place, at around 12.30am.

A 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and assault by beating and remained in custody on Monday afternoon.

Inspector Dee Wells said:

"We take reports of this nature very seriously and I would like to thank our officers for their fast work in arresting a suspect.

"At this time we are not connecting this incident to previous reports of damage to cars in the Portslade area last year.

"Our priority is keeping members of members of the public safe and feeling safe and we will take robust action against those who cause harm in our local communities.

"We are particularly interested to hear from any witnesses or anybody with CCTV around the location of Chatham Place, which may help with our enquiries.

"Anyone with information about this incident can report it to us online or by calling 101, quoting 22 of 18/01."
