Man smashes windows and trashes posh paint shop Farrow & Ball in Hove by covering it….in PAINT
A man smashed windows and trashed luxury interiors store Farrow & Ball in Hove, covering it with paint.
The paint shop was cordoned off after a man inside the store violently broke a window and smeared luxury hues on the floor and counters.
Police wearing riot gear entered the store to speak with the man, who was suspected of having a mental health crisis.
He was later dragged out of the paint-soaked store after throwing objects at Sussex police.
The audience watched as extremely expensive colors were scattered around.
Brighton resident Lynne Moore told The Argus: ‘It’s really disheartening that someone would do this. It doesn’t make sense; I don’t understand you.
‘Imagine what the staff is like. It’s a nice shop.
‘This is truly incredible.’

Staff did not want to discuss the incident.
Workers have since measured the windows for replacement glass.
It is unclear when the store will open.
Sussex Police said: ‘We were called at around 3.25pm on Wednesday 8 October to reports of a man behaving erratically and causing a disturbance at a shop in Western Road, Hove.
‘The man refused to comply and threw objects at officers. He was eventually safely restrained and taken to the hospital for medical treatment. No one was injured in the incident.
‘The road was closed while officers dealt with the incident but has now reopened.’
