He is believed to have walked up Dorset Place or Prospect Place before ditching the sword.

PC Gill said: "This man is a threat to public safety given the fact he is walking around with a sword in his hand. We are trying to get witnesses to come forward, especially the man who was threatened and then ran off."

Call PC Gill at Hastings Police Station on 0845 6070999 with any information.
