A 12-year-old girl has been arrested in connection with an assault in Shoreham last Monday (April 11).
The victim, a 13-year-old girl, reported being approached by a group of teenage girls near the tennis courts in Buckingham Park before being assaulted and having her phone smashed.
It happened at around 1.45pm.
PC Kerry Sargent said: “This was a violent assault in a popular park in broad daylight and we are asking anybody who saw what happened or has any information which could help with our investigation to come forward.
“I would like to reassure the public that this is understood to be an isolated incident and there is no wider risk."
