'He had some other clothes with him and when he was searched we found he was carrying a flick-knife.'

He was arrested and released on bail.

On Sunday (January 20) he returned for further questioning and was given a police caution for committing sexual activity in a public lavatory and for possession of an offensive weapon.

PC Vitler said: 'We get a few incidents reported from here and in the past we've increased foot patrols in the area and on Ditchling common, particularly in the summer months.'
