Four youths allegedly involved in a happy-slapping incident which ended with one of them being knocked out have been charged to appear in court.
The male teenagers were arrested in February following a violent incident at Imperial Arcade, opposite Churchill Square in Brighton, where salesman Curtis Mulcare, 31, was hit while he waited for a bus.
Former boxer Mr Mulcare fought back, knocking one youth unconscious, and was attacked by others. One teenager climbed onto the roof of the shopping arcade and threw a brick through its glass skylight.
Two 17-year-olds from Hove and Shoreham and two 16-year-olds from Portslade and Shoreham have been charged with common assault and public order offences. They are due to appear at Brighton Magistrates Court on Friday, April 27.
