Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed that the teenager has suffered stab wounds to his abdomen. He was taken to St Mary’s Hospital for treatment, but thankfully his injuries are not life threatening.
An 18-year-old local man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He remains in custody at Newport Police Station at this time.
An area of Puckpool Park remains cordoned off this morning as investigations continue.
A scenes of crime investigator is gathering evidence and photographs from the scene.

































































































So, technically, you blame the council for this incident?
Not the 18 year old carrying the knife!
Not the parents of such children that drag them up to believe that they can do what they want!
The council are to blame are they?
Liberal minded idiocy is to blame – stop thugs having more thug children!
Stichbery never blamed the council for THIS. He or she is saying that THIS will become far more common place when this type, is encouraged here by our greedy council to fill many of the thousands of home to be built in Ryde soon.
Put a police presence about, not an isolated incident, ask the early morning beach cleaner about all the vandalism etc, violence is a natural progression path if these idiots are not reported/punished, although tbh the Island courts would probably issue them trainers and cider as a deterrent, justice on the IOW is a joke recently.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what a rehabilitation day is?
Kosta human rights are so powerful you will NEVER prevent an unsuitable from having as many children as it can produce, YET you cannot now feel safe allowing your own children into a kiddies park. SEE the madness here.
Don’t import MORE to our shores is what Stichbury is saying
Sometimes it’s not the parents, it’s peer pressure and getting in with the wrong crowd as they grow up. Lots of well behaved kids can grow up to be little shits.
Unless the opposing parties are diluted to no more than two, the Torys will keep getting voted back in.
Well what was he doing out at that time of the morning, what good parents he has . Probably off there heads
At work last night and group of kids in co op car park hanging around some of these didn’t look more than about 10 . This was nearly 10 o’clock makes you wonder if the parents know or care what they are up to. Ryde.
it’s 10 o’clock? that’s not late, he’s 16 he’s having fun and being a kid are you seriously blaming him for being stabbed how embarrassing
Read the story, happened just before 01:30
Christ sake woman, it was 01:30 Sunday morning. Do you seriously think this is acceptable? Having fun? It was dark, wet and cold. And what were they up to at Puckpool at that time of the morning? If you think this is acceptable and it’s kids having ‘fun’ well there really isn’t any hope for these kids……….
Sofia probably let’s her kids out till then
Read i was talking about groups of young kids in general being allowed to wander the streets.
It was 01.30am should have been home
Yeah just about the reaction I’d expect!
The parents don’t seem to care what their kids get up to these days. Start being responsible parents and make sure your kids are indoors and not wandering the streets getting into trouble. This is why so many turn into out of control little thugs. Their parents can’t be arsed to bring them up properly…….
Ok mr justice that’s what people will do
Little chav tw@ts !!
Fight like a man
Hope the lad makes a speedy recovery
Karma will come
Karma won’t come. Just a gutless way out of ensuring that real justice is done by the meek.
Iow is becoming chav Island its not safe for law biding citizens to walk the streets at night anymore the youth are running the island and taking the p**s out of police and law system I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again things won’t get better only worse so bring back
NATIONAL SERVICE
Don’t dare frighten people with the truth. The snowflakes will have your post removed in case the smelling salts can’t be found in time. Await the arrival of thousand of similar when Ryde is built to destruction. THIS is the good times.
And borstal
And hanging
Yes, quite agree. Bring back National Service for boys and girls, especially since Covid is causing so many loss of jobs
So you want national service? Did you do it? I think not? I don’t want my gentle well behaved working passive son to be sent away to the armed forces. Stupid comment from an idiot who wouldn’t want to do it yourself.
During the war. Didn’t do me any harm in the Navy.
Ryde is never trusted I can’t take the violence what happened down there is nasty.
Out of control little shits. Parents, where are you and what are you doing while your little thugs are up to God knows what???????
several incidents not looked at over the years as allegedly the business owners didn’t want the police presence to affect their businesses.
About time a regular patrol of this area is carried it after dark as too many ELF (evil little f…….) are at large, where are their parents when these little darlings are roaming the streets at all hours!
Plenty of police around to make sure the law abiding are obeying the convid rules they should be put where they are really needed
Having that derelict holiday park at Puckpool is a magnet for young dossers at night away from prying eyes. It beggars belief that this is allowed to stay like this in a biosphere area.
Hope the lad recovers.
Hearing who was stabbed and some of the youths involved… this doesn’t surprise me! There is a lot of grey area in this and I’m sure a lot of people would agree…
These ferrel little rats need to learn some respect. Parents, sort your kids out or don’t you care??????
Council need to put more cctv to stop little rats getting away with things like this ♀️
What was a 16 year old doing out at that time? Surely the parents should be looked into? Unfortunately people now are cowards and can’t fight with their fists anymore and so rely on weapons to do the job. Hope he makes a quick recovery.
Yes, what was a 16 year old doing out at that time of the morning?
I can guess, but will be interesting to see the reasons presented to court when and if the 18 year old appears.
You can leave home 16!!!
So we Vote the Council out, to be replaced by possibly a Tory, a tree huger, a wannabe Marxist or a dithering liberal, or some I’m very important independent. I do not see a party that wishes to remove access to social housing and the National Health Service for those with criminal records, or euthanasing drug addicts and suppliers. No one recommends the return of corporal punishment for both school children or their parents. So as all of this is very unlikely, nothing will change, If you want change, you better come up with something a lot better than just bleating “Vote this council out” at every boring opportunity.
Why are you all so quick to assume its
the parents fault that there child has done this
Not that maybe hes taken the wrong path
Made his own life choices
So did you parents know where you were at 16 ???
Yes
Is this a comment on the story or a very poorly worded poem?
Aggie, the 16 year old boy is still a minor, a child. His parent or parents are legally responsible for him, it’s the law. Are his parents chavs and don’t give a sh*t what he gets into?
Any parents that let a 16 year old out at 01:30am in the morning should be taking a very long hard look at themselves. The thug with the knife should get an immediate prison sentence and not a slap on the wrist as is usual.
Parents are always to blame.. why 16 year old out at that time of day… you can not stop a 16 year old doing anything today, apart from getting a tattoo or drinking. That’s what the law says. I know that’s seems wrong, but thats how it is nowadays.
You dont know what happened why this young lad was stabbed. Its down to an 18 year old carrying a knife no-one else. These little hoodlums think they are tuff. Should take them to centre of London and leave them there. They wouldn’t last the night.
Yes bring back national service to teach them discipline. Then when come out. No jobs, home, money anything so back to beginning again.
And it’s not always council estate people that causes all the trouble.
‘If that’s what the Law says then the Law is an ass’ Charles Dickens ‘Oliver Twist’
What annoys me, the parents of these youngsters will say, ‘ My child is a very nice lad and would never do anything like this…’ I know, right !!
Pathetic comment my good friend
Err, thanks; I think.
I know a new council will be similarly as useless, but unless this lot are removed, they will become complacent, and grow ever more corrupt, forging underhand ‘advantage’ with developers etc.
Perhaps you ‘know this’ and hence prefer to insult to discredit rather than offer a decent point of view.
There are many similar who KNOW what I say is right, but, as the system currently works to their advantage don’t wish any change, but clearly can’t say that.
That or you may just be naive.
If the cap fits……….
Why do the parents of this 16 year old child and he is a child,let their children wander around the streets at this time of the morning? Totally irresponsible on their part. Start being a good parent for God sake. You are responsible for him as you bought him into this world. And as for the 18 year old who was carrying the knife, what sort of upbringing did he have? His parents seriously need to step up and sort him out!!!!! Thugs RUS seem to be springing up everywhere. Parents, sort your kids out and make sure they are not wandering the streets like ferrel animals at all times of the night.
I hope the lad has not suffered any serious internal injuries and makes a speedy full recovery. Perhaps the stop and search rules need to be relaxed a little so that the old bill can do more to ensure teenagers are not tooled up.
Define echo chamber.
I blame the abolition of corporal punishment in schools. It basically teaches kids ‘ no matter what you do, you can get away with some stern words and carry on as you were’….. Like, that will work…
Lay with dogs, you get fleas.
Wannabe gangsters !
Thanks Corbyn!!!!
I was working at 16 and paying my way. No time to stay out late, work in the morning.
