A 15-year-old boy who collapsed in front of police officers after he was attacked in a street in Sussex has regained consciousness.

The teenager suffered serious head injuries during an assault close to Burgess Hill railway station on Wednesday at 22:50 BST.

Sussex Police said the boy was stable and receiving treatment at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.

Two men have been arrested and bailed in connection with the attack.

The force had been called to Queens Crescent following reports of an assault.

When officers arrived they found the boy who collapsed while he was speaking to them.
