Armed police swooped following reports of a man with a knife in Brighton this afternoon.

The Taser was not deployed and members of the public congratulated police for their speedy response.
Officers arrested the suspect who was taken to hospital with knife wounds.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “A 35-year-old year man from Brighton has been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and is being transferred to hospital with knife wounds, which are believed to be self-inflicted.”
