People have been left stranded in mid-air for more than two hours after a tourist attraction in Brighton broke down.

The i360 - which describes itself as the world's first "vertical cable car" - apparently had a "slight technical hitch".

It opened last month, lifting guests 450 feet into the air for a view of the Brighton coastline.
