A 47-year-old man from Newport has been arrested and questioned following a stabbing in Ryde at the weekend.
As first reported by Island Echo, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance was scrambled to Ryde on Saturday night, with the Andover-based helicopter touching down in Simeon Street Rec.
It’s known that 1 person was airlifted directly to Southampton General Hospital by the air ambulance during the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police have now confirmed that the casualty had suffered a stab wound following an altercation on Green Street in the town.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, but has since been bailed until 21st November.
Enquiries continue.

Quelle surprise – wouldn’t be anything to do with that hostel now would it.
Low life. Get him off the streets and in prison where he belongs
As if! We all know that is a worthwhile and worthy place and a credit to the Sally Army. The do gooders all think it’s wonderful and anyone who says otherwise is a very bad person.
What a ‘pathetic’ man. Carrying a knife. Should be given prison time. Society has no place for scum bags who think it’s ok to carry a knife and then use it.
When scum stabs someone it’s attempted murder! So why is he on bail?.
This coward should not be walking the streets, because next time it could be fatal.
It is only murder when it’s premeditated. If you think that is the case then you may something that the police don’t and need to report it.
Is it not premeditated if a person carries a knife ?♀️
In my book, if one carries a weapon of any type, then they plan on using it, that can be interpreted as premeditated… why else would anyone carry a weapon ? Please don’t answer for self defence, that’s stupid…unless in USA and carry a gun.
