It is believed he was attacked by two men who repeatedly punched him before running off towards Hastings Pier.

Detective Constable Gregory Montier said: “We are particularly interested in speaking with a man and woman who were seen walking along the lower promenade at around that time, as it’s thought they may have seen something that could help us.

“If you were in the area and saw anything suspicious then please do get in touch.”

Witnesses can call 101 or email [email protected] quoting reference 55 of 08/01.
