Police are looking for a former Rochester Prison inmate with links to Hove, Southwick, Shoreham, Lancing and Worthing.
Michael Stanley, 31, is wanted for recall to prison, Sussex Police said today (Monday 24 May).
Stanley, formerly of Grange Court, in Butts Road, Southwick, was jailed for assaulting Jodie Dawkins, causing her actual bodily harm (ABH).
The attack happened in July last year and led to Stanley being jailed at Lewes Crown Court in October by Judge Paul Tain shortly before he retired.
