Boy, 16, arrested after two teens stabbed
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after two 18-year-old men were stabbed in East Sussex, police say. At 21:55 BST on Friday, officers in Hove Lawns were made aware of the two injured men who were taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. The teenage boy from Crawley was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and remained in custody, police said. The incident happened on a day where police had increased their patrols in Brighton city centre due to concerns about potential youth disorder. At about 19:30 BST on Friday, police were also called to the lower promenade, near Shelter Hall, to reports of a large group of youths gathering. Officers dispersed the group, but a 16-year-old boy from Brighton was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker and remained in custody, police said. Ch Insp Vicky Dias said: "Last night's incidents show how quickly anti-social behaviour can escalate into violence, with potentially tragic consequences. "We and our partners will continue to work hard to address any issues as early as possible, but I would also appeal to parents to be aware of their children's behaviour and whereabouts to help keep them safe from harm." She said there would be an increased police presence in the city centre across the weekend. Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
