POLICE have launched an urgent hunt to find a man believed to be connected to a horrific stabbing.
The incident took place on April 26, but the mysterious, face-painted man has continued to elude authorities.
At 2.15am, a 45-year-old man was stabbed on the junction of London Road and Rose Hill Terrace in Brighton.
An altercation with a group was reported, which left the man with multiple knife wounds.
Although the suspects fled from the scene, three 17-year-old girls were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and with possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
