Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has confirmed that enquiries are ongoing with no arrests made at this time.
Anyone with information is urged to call 101, quoting reference 44260197312.
Omg what is going on there’s too much violence, people need to understand life is so precious?
And they want people to travel on buses
Lol
Too many numpties for my liking use buses.
The sooner Uber taxis are on the island the better.
I think you’ll find the type of people doing this attack, are the same as those who will come down to drive for Uber.
Lake has the biggest HMO on the island.
True but the difference is, you don’t have to share the same vehicle in a taxi like you do uber!
Uber will rid us of scandalous taxi fares.
island taxi drivers have been stinging us for years.
Greedy B’stards!.
Not very likely, there are enough local numpties
causing trouble.
Check bus cctv? Just a thought!
