However police are still looking to identify the offenders involved.

Detective Inspector Vicki Harris, who has been leading the investigation, said: "Despite making arrests, we are still looking to identify these individuals who were involved in this nasty incident. The fight took place on a Sunday afternoon in a busy street where there were people out shopping, some with young children.

"We are extremely keen to identify these two men particularly, who played an active role in the violence and need to be held to account for their behaviour.

"We know someone will recognise these men and we are appealing to those people to give us their names. If anyone has any details on the fight or recognises anyone involved please contact police on 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting Operation Bearwood. Alternatively contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
