A description was provided and passed on to other officers, who spotted and detained two men matching the description of the suspects in nearby Denton Gardens, in Brighton Road. A knife was found close by and recovered.

Two men from Worthing, aged 44 and 47, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife in public. They have been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
