A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly seriously assaulting a woman at an address in Binstead, which prompted Armed Police to be deployed to the scene earlier today (Monday).
As previously reported by Island Echo, armed officers and other colleagues responded to Newnham Road – off the main Ryde to Newport road – at just before 11:15.
Witnesses have said that a female was seen bleeding profusely ahead of the arrival of Armed Police, who shouted for a male to open the front door and put down a weapon.
It has been confirmed by Hampshire Constabulary that a female has suffered serious head injuries, although they are not life-threatening. She is being treated at St Mary’s Hospital.
The Force has also confirmed that the male suspect has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to murder the woman – believed to be his partner – and has also been taken to St Mary’s Hospital for treatment, under Police escort.
A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary has said:
“We were called at 11.10am with reports of a serious assault at an address in Newnham Road, Binstead.

“Officers have arrested a man at the scene, and he has been transported to hospital.
“The two parties involved are known to one another, and there is no wider risk to the public.
“Officers remain on scene at this time and are conducting enquiries”.
The Thames Valley Air Ambulance was scrambled to the scene but was stood down whilst overhead.
What a lovely island we live on.!!
Welcome to reality Rob. Like this the world over. And this kind of behaviours starts in schools and never gets dealt with so they grow up believing that they have the right to attack someone if they so wish.
Only when schools start calling bullying by it’s real name, assault, that this kind of behaviour will die out. Time to apply all the laws of the land to all the people of the land. Age is not an excuse.
He stabbed her in the neck, then stabbed himself in the neck and also their dog, I hope the dog is okey
Need a kicking for staying the dog poor dog hope it’s OK
Yes, i looked at the robbery and burglary results for Binstead, ZERO solved.
Not just the island, the whole country is in a mess when it comes to law and order…
Old people should know better
Where did that come from?
Do you know how old they are?
How do you know they are old no ages mentioned?
Hes 59 shes 54
That’s not old!
What a pratt
Badger who’s using my name
Badger – Whatever the age of anyone ivolved in this incident, your irrelevant comment is both ageist and offensive. Please apologise.
This is genuinely the funniest comment I have ever seen whilst reading island echo articles and the naive stupid comments all the oaps make
Old people should know better it is not just the old it’s every one at any age its all around the world now open up your eyes and see .yes the island used to be so peaceful tranquility still is really.its just realty now.
benefit claimer i expect
Fair point, David. Most people who work hard to pay taxes, for where this fellow’s going, don’t have the time or energy to go about trying to allegedly murder people.
Wait until enriching occurs here
Enriching has already started and we are told by the mainstream media to embrace it..
What with the proviso to wear Kevlar undergarments first?
The final nail in the coffin for the British people
He also stabbed the family dog, poor thing
Where’s it say that? X
Where does it say x
What dog, no mention of a dog being involved???.
What about his poor wife!
None of you know anything about what’s gone on so keep your opinions to yourselves
Why don’t you practice what you preach, Idiot…
Dont read them then, SIMPLES
Fair play, Tinks. We don’t. Was she horrid? Never, ever getting this broadcast..
Look at you all judging on something and people you don’t even know !!!
Everyone is so keen to assume and call people out after only hearing hearsay.
Shame on you labeling people with out proper evidence!!!!
Does anyone know how the poor dog is?
I know this couple – it’s a real shock to read what’s happened, I’d never thought it possible. No specific details have been released so maybe the armchair detectives, who know nothing, should keep quiet.
What a piece of shit. I really hope this woman is free from him now, though I understand its never so simple. If you abuse your partner you are a piece of shit, most of the world hopes you slip in the shower.
So, I’m guessing that no-one has considered that this could be a case of self defence ? Men do get abused, both physically and mentally, but everyone always assumes that it’s the fella. We all have our breaking point. Has anyone considered mental health issues ? We all know that there is a complete lack of mental healthcare on the island !
Stop making assumptions and wait until you are aware of both the person’s involved version of events.Then, and only then are you able to make judgement.
Shame on you !!! Its people like you instantly jumping to co conclusions!!
Abuse is a two way thing but short sighted people always assume its the male !!!
I have known them for many years and this is a massive shock to everyone that knows them both !!! Get all the facts then yiu can judge!!!!
Most of the comments on here is what’s
ruining the island/country some people are so nasty and that seems to be accepted even welcomed nowadays.
