A man has been taken to hospital and a town centre road closed following a suspected assault in East Sussex.

Station Road in Hastings was shut as part of the investigation after emergency services were called to the area at about 05:30 BST on Sunday.

Sussex Police said a 31-year-old man was taken to hospital with a head injury believed to have been caused by a bottle.

An 18-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of breaching a restraining order, remains in custody.

The force said: "Enquiries are ongoing to identify and locate other suspects, and there is likely to be an increased presence in the area while this is ongoing."

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Sussex Police.
