A 16-year-old boy is in hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries after being stabbed in Worthing, Sussex.

Police were called to Liverpool Road shortly after 5.30pm on Monday, February 13.

Officers cordoned off the local McDonald's with forensics teams later being seen inside the fast food restaurant.

A 17-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm and remain in custody.
