Following the incident, two 17-year-olds were arrested on January 13 and were subsequently bailed with strict conditions pending further enquiries.
On Wednesday, 5 June, a 17-year-old boy from Brighton, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was formally charged with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, and assaulting a police constable.
The teenager was remanded in custody from Brighton Magistrates’ Court on June 6, pending his next court appearance on June 11.
