A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing a man in the back in Sandown during the early hours of this morning (Wednesday).
The situation began at around 02:30 when 2 individuals forced entry into Browns, off Culver Parade.
The duo spent around 45 minutes searching around inside the popular seaside cafe before making their way across the golf course with bags full of stolen alcohol and cash.
It’s after this break-in that it’s alleged that 2 males and a local man in his 40s became involved in an altercation.
Shockingly, the male was stabbed and sustained a puncture wound to his back. He was taken to St Mary’s Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Detectives from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary have launched an investigation into the serious incident and, as part of their enquiries, have detained a 14-year-old boy from Newport on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and burglary.
He remains in custody at Newport Police Station for questioning this afternoon.
Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and to locate the second suspect, also thought to be a youth.
14 years old and out committing burglary and GBH at 2.30am. Where were his parents/guardians? Unbelievable! I hope the man makes a quick recovery, although his mental health will probably be affected for the rest of his life.
If the parents are on benefits STOP their
benefits.
Let me get this right. By stopping any benefits that the parents of this total piece of human filth, is going to make it better. Your in la la land matey.
6 months army boot camp would sort these kids out. No TV , no internet, no phones, up at 6am etc….
Great idea. But we’re too gormless in Britain for anything like that now.
French Foreign Legion
Have you ever thought of joining them?
14 yo….
What a useful life he will now lead.
Once a bad apple always a bad apple.
Shocking what is becoming of this island,
let’s hope the right punishment for such a
crime is handed out.
Youngsters think they can do what they want.
And IOW Council don’t help by not maintaining our quality of place in many public spaces – the whole Island looks neglected and living in the past. Shameful. Encourages couldn’t care less behaviour from kids and adults alike. There’s no excuse for these young people behaving so badly, though.
String him up by his balls until he coughs.
The scum start young these days as feril brats and the do gooders and hand wringers protect them. More potential low life for the DWP to support
Yep. Except it isn’t the DWP that support them – it’s us, the taxpayers. The bill is absolutely astonishing.
So true. Then we’ve got all the deliberate self inflicted junkies and drunks claiming PIP and Sickness benefits for the side effects, costing millions, but no one in the government with the balls to question it. Stop their benefits, which is the real place where all the money is going and see how it all hits the fan. So we get victimized because they know we can’t fight back, cruel bastards
Little shit should be in a borstal, but of course, Thatcher closed them all down, so no we have feral brat scum walking around doing as it likes and all the do gooders protecting it. Wait for the B/S about can’t say who he is because of his age b*ll*cks
