A man suffered serious injuries following a hit-and-run crash on the A259.
The pedestrian remains in hospital after being hit by a vehicle on Brighton seafront outside a hotel.
The driver of the grey vehicle did not stop at the scene and police are now appealing to find the individual.
A Sussex Police spokesman confirmed that a 32-year-old man, from Maresfield, suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital following the crash at around 5am.

Earlier reports suggested that a "stabbing" had taken place, however this was refuted by the force.
A section of King's Road was closed following the incident but has since re-opened.
The spokesman added: "Officers investigating have urged witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
In particular, they want anyone with relevant CCTV, mobile phone footage, or dashcam footage in the area at the time to come forward.
Information can be reported to Sussex Police online or on 101 quoting serial 152 of 07/08."
