Police have erected a cordon on a residential street in Cowes after a man sustained injuries earlier this evening (Friday).
Multiple police units rushed to the scene on Denmark Road at just after 19:30, alongside colleagues from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service.
Island Echo understands that a man with injuries was being spoken to by officers.
A significant amount of blood has coated the pavement and a nearby drain cover and a blood imprint can be seen on the retaining wall of a block of flats.
It is not yet known how the male sustained injuries, or if any arrests have been made. The male has been conveyed by ambulance to St Mary’s hospital.
Island Echo has approached Hampshire Constabulary for a statement.

“Subsequent enquiries have shown that the man was struck during a disagreement between two men that are known to each other. We have since spoken to all parties involved and they are satisfied the matter has been resolved without the need for further police involvement. No-one was seriously hurt.”
This is disgusting behaviour , a bottle fgs the courts need to dish out a punishment that deters this animal behaviour instead of a slapped wrist £50 fine and £80 cost .
1 decent sentence and would make other think twice.
youd get more punishment for slapping someone’s ass
Quite. The current culture of light sentencing is giving the nod to feral thugs and leaves decent people with little protection.
The party that advertises itself as being ‘tough on crime’ is nothing of the sort, more expert image makers and propagandists. The other lot don’t promise anything better, in fact politicians have become so out of touch with the realities we all face in our communities.
– Keep lobbying, keep posting people, or any other way to get heard…
One of my pet hates is people who refer low life scum to animals! You don’t see cows in a field going around bottling each other do you? People are vermin,leave the animals alone!
