Officers are investigating an incident in which a woman attacked another woman in a fast food restaurant in Eastbourne, biting her face. Police released CCTV footage of someone (left) they would like to talk to about what happened.

The 23-year-old victim, from Bexhill, was inside the shop buying food when she was grabbed by her assailant, had her hair pulled and was then bitten on her right cheek. She also sustained bruising to her arms.

The incident occurred at The Best Kebab in Langney Road, Eastbourne, between 3am and 3.30am on Sunday, November 5, 2017.
