Woman rescued from sea is detained
A screaming woman ran into the sea, sparking a lifesaving operation.
Crowds enjoying the evening sunshine were shocked when the woman, in her 40s, entered the water near to the West Pier in Brighton.
Brighton and Hove Lifeguards were called at 7.10pm and pulled the woman ashore.
Police detained her 20 minutes later under the Mental Health Act.
She was checked by paramedics at the scene but not taken to hospital.

Well at least she was clean when she got dragged off to Sussex House then!
Does the Argus have at least a 'sub' to oversee the 'reports' on this site ???????

If I was trapped in a box with a bee, a scorpion or any sort of viscious animal I would make a hell of a fuss!!
Sometimes I wish you would all bloat up to ten times your original size. Then I could roll you "puffed up" ones around on the Lawn Bowls arena in preston park. Suckers!!

The woman was sitting next to me and my family for about an hour before she suddenly ran into the sea and I can tell you this, she was smoking skunk and we weren't happy about it, but just before we could complain about it, she rushed into the sea screaming her head off, but that’s cannabis for you, it turns all users into nut cases eventually.

Once I accidentally had a sip of some "ice cream" that a teenage vendor offered me on the beach. One sniff of the barmaid's apron and I was in a 'writher'.
All-a-flutter and growling and muttering on Brighton Beach and I was suddenly wearing a top hat and some colourful rags and then it was like the stones had disappeared and I was lying on a tiger skin rug and this man was there with leather boots and he was telling me everything will be alright and I just lie on the rug and hold onto the boot and he tells me that everything will be alright

If this refers to the similar-sounding incident around 7pm on Sunday 11th May by the West Pier, a number of the facts are wrong. This report is light on detail and accuracy, and probably shouldn't have been published.
