A man thought to be a Sudanese migrant has been found in a horsebox as it was being unloaded at a West Sussex showjumping ground.

The 26-year-old man was found under a Belgian-registered lorry after it arrived at the All England Jumping Course at Hickstead on Tuesday evening.

He was discovered as the ramps were being pulled down on the truck.

The man, who does not speak English, was checked over by medical staff before being handed over to police.

He remains in police custody, Sussex Police said.
