Two of the 18 arrested in Brighton yesterday face court this month

Two of the 18 people arrested in Brighton yesterday (Saturday 2 June) will be brought before magistrates in just under three weeks’ time.

One of those arrested during the gathering of English nationalists and UK Uncut supporters – a 51-year-old man from Hull – was still in custody earlier.

Sussex Police said that officers were still investigating after the man was held on suspicion of criminal damage and assaulting a police officer.

He was also believed to have breached a notice served under section 27 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act – ordering him to leave the area.

The two men who have been bailed to appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Friday 22 June are

  • Stephen Sands, 44, a roofer, of Norfolk Terrace, Brighton, who has been charged with throwing a firework in a public place

  • A 27-year-old man from Brighton who arrested for using threatening words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress

Two men were issued with fixed penalty notices. They were

  • A 45-year-old man from Brighton for a breach of the peace
  • A 43-year-old man from Hull for being drunk and disorderly

  • A 26-year-old man from Cambridge for using offensive language

Four others who were arrested have been released and face no further action. They are

  • A 53-year-old woman from Brighton who was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer
  • A 37-year-old man from Brighton who was arrested on suspicion of having heroin
