There was a heavy police presence on the waterfront this evening amid reports of a “large gathering” of students.
Dozens of teenagers have been seen gathering on Hove Lawns, and photos show officers dispersing groups.
A passerby said: “There were plenty of drunk grade 11 students because it’s their last day before GCSEs.
“There were a lot of police there because of Covid.”
Another witness said he saw a girl “lying on the grass passed out” and surrounded by police.
Sussex Police have been contacted for comment.
Under current coronavirus restrictions, gatherings should not exceed 30 people unless covered by a legal exemption, such as for work or volunteer work, or to provide care or assistance to people with disabilities or vulnerable people. .
