A man has been charged with committing grievous bodily harm (GBH) to a 26-year-old victim from Eastbourne in May this year.
Following the attack in the early hours of May 8 on Madeira Drive, two men were arrested on suspicion of the offence and released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Arain Moradi, 21, a student, of Blenheim Crescent, London, is accused of approaching the 26-year-old Eastbourne victim in the early hours of Sunday, May 8, using homophobic language before punching him in the face and breaking his jaw.
Moradi is on conditional bail and will appear before Brighton Magistrates’ Court on September 1.
