The South Korean embassy in London has issued a warning to its citizens about the possibility of racist attacks in the UK after a student was attacked by a bottle in Brighton last weekend. 

Yshung Kim, 20, was hit in an unprovoked attack in Brighton on Sunday night. 

Sussex police have arrested two teenage boys aged 16 and 17 in connection with the attack. 

Police have arrested two suspects aged 16 and 17 and they are currently searching for a third suspect who is described as a white teenage girl of slim build with long dark hair and wearing a dark jacket and trousers along with a pair of light coloured shoes, right 

Mr Kim suffered facial injuries including a broken tooth as a result of the attack. 

Officers are still searching for a white teenage girl, described as being of slim build, long dark hair and wearing a dark jacket and trousers with light coloured shoes. 

Detective Inspector Simon Morgan of Sussex Police said: ‘We want to hear from anyone who saw the assault, which happened in busy North Street and also anyone who saw a group of youths acting aggressively at this location or in Churchill Square on Sunday night.

‘We are aware there is a video of the incident which has been posted on Facebook and if anyone who has seen it has any information, please contact us.’

Chief Inspector Chris Veale said: ‘We are treating this as a hate crime as we believe the victim was targeted due to his ethnicity. Brighton is a welcoming diverse city and we are appalled at this attack on this young man. Such incidents can cause significant distress to victims and local communities and I would like to reassure those affected that we take this type of crime extremely seriously and are doing all we can to identify and arrest the suspect.’

The 17-year-old is from Burgess Hill and is suspected of racially aggravated harassment with fear of violence. 

The 16-year-old from Haywards Heath was arrested on suspicion of committing grievous bodily harm with intent.  

He is believed to have had a tooth broken and 10 others dislodged and had to have emergency dental treatment.
