Police believe the injury was caused during an altercation with a group of teenage boys which occurred close to the Chicken Cottage and Lemon Grass restaurants.

A 17-year-old from Worthing has since been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article. After being questioned he was released on bail until June.
