The officer was responding to a call-out in the town when he was "seriously" stabbed in the leg. After the 1am attack, the injured officer managed to self-administer medical treatment as his two colleagues gave chase and eventually arrested the suspect. (Image: Sussex Police)CCTV images have been released as police believe people in the area may have talked to the suspect before the attack. "The injured officer was able to move away and self-administer medical intervention whilst his two junior colleagues - both just 15 months into their policing careers - apprehended the suspect. "The actions of all three officers, as well as colleagues who swiftly came to their aid, are to be commended."
