A man remains in hospital following an attack by a group of football thugs after the Euros final.

The man in his 20s suffered serious facial injuries when he was assaulted by a large group of men, women and children wearing England football shirts and carrying England flags.

Four other people suffered minor injuries in the attack which happened just hours after England lost to Spain on July 14.

Sussex Police say the five victims were walking along Havelock Road in Hastings when they were assaulted by the group of football hooligans.

They were able to escape to Castle Hill Road but were assaulted again shortly after.

A spokeswoman for the force said: “Anyone who witnessed these incidents or who has information to assist the investigation is urged to contact police by making an online report, or by calling 101 quoting reference 67 of 15/07.”
