Police were called to Western Road in Brighton after reports that two men had painted their faces black and then a fight broke out in front of stunned shoppers.
The drama unfolded in front of shocked passersby enjoying their lunchtime.
Many were shocked by what they saw and could not understand why the men had 'blacked up'.Drunken morons fighting on the streets of Brighton (even outside Waitrose) is 'meh', but blacking up?
Quelle horreur!
A 36-year-old homeless man and a 29-year-old man were arrested for disorderly behaviour, racially or religiously aggravated harassment and actual bodily harm.Intriguing!
Judging by the comments on that article it appears that this is just common or garden 'Care in the Community Street Theatre', of a sort that both Brighton council and the police have put up with for far too long.
