The incident occurred shortly before 17:00 yesterday afternoon (Wednesday).
A 29-year-old from Sandown has been arrested on suspicion of common assault and breach of a criminal behaviour order. He has been released under investigation.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Police on 101, quoting 44210267973.
Poor girl must have been terrified. This sort of behaviour should have serious consequences but he’ll probably get a slap on the wrist.
Chuck him in with the local boxing team or rugby club for some target practice and let them put some fear in to him. See how he likes it, scumbag.
It was me he did it to and yes it was very scary and now knowing he’s out makes me so angry and scared!! So upset
Good on the the workman
They asctually saved my life I wouldn’t be more thankful!
Can’t believe they let him out, What the the hell were they thinking of…… He showed intent to cause harm, he should NOT have been let out. Glad your ok though.
No doubt he was impatient for his methadone!
Exactly what I was going to say.
Wonder what excuse he will use !!!!!!
How terrifying for the young lady , hope she is OK not a nice experience for her at all .
Hopefully he will get more than a slap on the wrist …….
Waiting with baited breath ……
Well done to the workmen thank goodness they were there .
The scum are surfacing again.
Down right coward.
Arrested then released……..mmmm!!! So this nutter is walking the streets of Sandown again. Needs locking up obviously a dangerous individual.
If I were in that young ladys situation I’d be very fast researching the laws of self defense;)
