Manhunt for wanted Eastbourne 27-year-old Alex Evans

Sussex Police say the 27-year-old is wanted in relation to attacks on several people outside Cameo nightclub in Langney Road in the early hours of Saturday, March 7.

Three men aged 18, 20, and 27, and a woman aged 18, were assaulted by a man around 3.15am, police say.

Two of the men were taken to hospital for treatment, where the 20-year-old victim was found to have suffered a fractured jaw.

Evans is described as white, of slim build, and about 5ft 7ins. He has dark brown hair and various distinctive tattoos on his neck and ears, including tribal designs and a spider web, and the word ‘tiger’ above his right eyebrow.

Police say Evans is local to the Eastbourne area but his last known whereabouts was in the Inverness area of Scotland. It is thought he has made his way back to England since then, however.

Detective Constable Paul Kelly said, “We also want to speak to anyone who was in the area of the nightclub, perhaps leaving or standing outside at the time.”

If you have seen Alex Evans or know where he is, or if you have any other information as to his whereabouts, contact Sussex Police online or call 101, quoting serial 177 of 07/03.
