Sussex Police say man injured in Bognor pier fight

A “large-scale” group of armed people were involved in a fight on the Grade II listed Bognor pier yesterday evening.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm while police offices search for a man they believe was seriously injured in the alleged attack.

Sussex Police DI Gary Jacobs said: “There were a number of witnesses who believe a man suffered a serious injury during this incident.

“We want to locate the victim to ensure they are getting the right treatment.

“This is thought to be an isolated incident between people who were known to each other and does not pose a threat to the wider community.
