Thugs who attack foreign students in the centre of Lancing are to be targeted in a police crackdown.
The move follows at least four attacks on language students in the town in the last week.
A French student needed hospital treatment for head injuries after he was assaulted by a gang of local youths.
Most of the attacks happened in North Road and near the station.
Sergeant Ian Cooke said: "This type of aggressive behaviour towards visitors to our towns is unacceptable and we shall be taking action to target those responsible."
