A 36-year-old Ryde man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent after he stabbed a male in the back and on the arm in Shanklin yesterday evening (Friday). Police and paramedics descended on the seaside town at around 18:20 immediately cordoning off an area outside Shanklin Conservative Club on Cross Street near the junction with High Street and Regent Street. The victim – a man in his 50s – suffered a puncture wound to his back and a cut to his arm and was taken St Mary’s Hospital for treatment. Armed Police searched for the culprit scouring the local roads for some 30 minutes before locating him a short while later in the local vicinity. He remains in custody at this time.

Please vote reform, for as we hear on the news every day, the third world type migrants have introduced knife crime since bringing mugging to our country, along with gun and acid attacks, something that would have been very unlikely to have been taken up on the massive scale it now is, if our youth had not followed what so many of these newcomers and the offspring of earlier settlers here now have made ‘the norm’.
Sadly so many of these people and the offspring of earlier arrivals here are filling our prisons, that the Courts, unless inflicting life changing injuries or killing someone, are unlikely to imprison them for meaningful terms, so just a case of luck that death from blood loss never happened, but luck,ends..
I think you’ll probably find that indigenous people have been stabbing each other in this country for centuries; long before migrants came here. Voting Deform will make absolutely no difference.
Well said amazing how Islanders look at things thru Rose coloured glasses about “days gone bye”there was just as much trouble a lot of it violent,just no Social media to announce every misdemeanour…vote reform?have you your na..I suit and ridiculous moustache all ready to go Gerrad Maggot?best pack it away again not a snowballs chance thankfully.
Reform is the w’acist party, Labour will take us
back into Europe.
Better prospects for Britain.
Post Brexit more migrants have arrived on our shores.
Pre Brexit less migrants arrived.
Get real
Yet it was the EU that implemented Open Borders.
The Island will always be Tory.
Only persons living in social housing will be voting
Reform or Labour
Unfortunately our own people don’t just copy and follow the rap music, body piercings and foods which ethnic migration has blessed our country with.
The more unpleasant but less often mentioned traits are also far more prevalent now too, as we see.
I shall vote reform as we owe it to our fallen and naturally deceased soldiers to help keep our country for OUR people which is why most all went to wars in the past, to protect their loved ones from stabbing, looting, raping outsider invaders. Now other political parties seem to actively encourage such here.
Do your bit, vote Reform.
I doubt very much that other parties are promoting stabbing, looting and raping. I would say you’re deluded if you believe this or that voting Deform will make a positive difference.
Our own people?yee gods you sound like a Victorian soap box speaker!there is no such thing as our people we are like America a mongrol breed made up of invading genes as they passed thru..and my I known family deceased and still serving see Reform as the next far right H…..r esq party taking away hard fought for liberty not giving them back!…i bet that one hand has been practising a Na.i salute and a click of the heels.
Obviously instant imprisonment just for carrying a knife, yet alone using it.
Too many smack heads in Shanklin
That teach the old fart they gets what they deserve
I am guessing you’re the type that carries a knife and is ready to attack someone who looks a little bit old then, cough up this posters IP to the police Echo, he sounds like he will “copycat” this weak little criminal.
More in Ryde
I’ve counted and can confirm more in Shanklin, hence the name Shank-lin
Well he was certainly in the right place there to be stabbed in the back.
Some choice comments here. Dear god, the stupidity
