Police in Brighton arrested a 32-year-old man on Sunday morning after three men were mown down by a car on the seafront.
Officers were called to Marine Parade shortly after 5.20am on Sunday after a report of a large group of people fighting with weapons.
A number of the group are believed to have jumped into a car as police arrived at the scene, with the vehicle then ploughing into three men involved in the altercation.
A man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and the three men were taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, two with serious head injuries.
The 32-year-old remains in custody. The vehicle was later found abandoned.
The Marine Parade has been closed from the pier roundabout and forensic officers are still on the scene.
Sussex Police have said the incident was not terror-related and are appealing for anyone with information to contact detectives.
