Three Arrested Amid Knife Crime Investigation
Officers acted fast, arresting two teenagers at the scene and a third later that evening. A 16-year-old boy from Worthing, who cannot be named for legal reasons, faces charges of threatening a person with a blade in public and using threatening behaviour to incite fear or violence. He’s due in Worthing Youth Court on Monday (12 October).
Two 18-year-old men, also from Worthing, were arrested on suspicion of conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.

Police Urge Witnesses to Speak Up, Warn Against Social Media Posts
Police are appealing for anyone who saw the attack or has information to come forward. Witnesses can report details online or call 101 quoting Operation Quebec.
Officers also warn that sharing video footage on social media could wreck the investigation and jeopardise court cases, urging people to hand such clips directly to the police instead.
