Police offer cash reward to trace wanted Seaford man

Jack Davies was involved in an altercation in Oxford Street, Brighton, on Thursday, June 11, where he sustained a serious injury for which he was taken to hospital, police said.

The 26-year-old left hospital before his treatment was complete.

Sussex Police issued an appeal to locate him to ensure his welfare. The force confirmed he has since made contact with friends and family and information suggests he is thankfully well following the injury.

A police spokesman said: “Davies is now wanted as he is suspected of assaulting another party during the altercation and possessing an offensive weapon.

“When interviewed by officers following the altercation Davies also gave false details about his identity.”

A £500 reward is now being offered for information that leads to the successful arrest of Davies.

Detective Inspector Glenn Taylor said: “Davies was the victim of an unpleasant assault and our initial priority was to ensure his welfare. Fortunately, information suggests that he is physically well.

“We are keen to locate him so he can be assessed by a health professional to confirm this and also so we can speak to him about these offences and the altercation on Oxford Street.

“Davies has links to Brighton, Seaford and Chailey and we would urge anyone who sees him or knows where he is to get in contact straight away.”

Anyone who sees Davies or who has information regarding his whereabouts is urged to report it to Sussex Police online or call 101, quoting serial 730 of 11/06.

Alternatively, anyone with information can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
