Man Assaulted In Attempted Eastbourne Robbery

There's an appeal for witnesses after two people assaulted a man after demanding he give them money.

It happened at around 6.15pm last Friday (Jan 20) in Borough Lane, near to Gildredge Park.

The victim was approached by two other men who demanded money from him before assaulting him.

After calling for help, another group of men emerged from the nearby park and intervened, at which point the victim was able to leave.

Nothing was taken from him during the incident.

One of the suspects is described as tall, slim and aged about 19. He had a curly, dark fringe that came down to just above his eyebrow. He was wearing a light-coloured hoody under a black jacket, with the hood up, dark trousers/jeans and white trainers.

The second suspect was dressed in dark clothing with his hood up, and was of similar height and build.
The identities of the other men who intervened are not known.

If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information which could help police with their investigation, please report online, or call 101, quoting serial 1014 of 20/01.
