A woman who was attacked by three men faces an agonising wait to find out whether her unborn baby has been harmed.

The 23-year-old woman, who is 12 weeks pregnant, had her hair pulled and was pushed over a garden wall in Longstone Road, Eastbourne.

She was then repeatedly kicked and punched as she lay in agony on the ground in broad daylight.

She was taken to Eastbourne District General Hospital, where tests were carried out to determine whether her baby is unharmed.

A police spokesman said: "We are still awaiting these results."

Anyone with information about the attack, which happened at 4pm on Thursday, is asked to call Eastbourne police on 0845 6070999.
