Police are seeking witnesses after a man was attacked at the Trek Club in Seaford in the early hours of Saturday, 28th January.

The 20-year old local man was at the club in Blatchington Road shortly before 2am on Saturday morning, when a fight broke out involving several people, in the course of which he was struck in the face by another man. He was taken by ambulance to Eastbourne District General Hospital, where it was confirmed that his jaw had been broken, and was later discharged following an operation.

The suspect is described as white, about 5'11, with short dark hair, and in his mid-twenties. He was wearing a blue hooded top with writing printed on the front.
