A Ryde man has been arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm after an incident in the town centre last night (Monday).
Police were called just after 21:00 by the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service to a report of an assault on High Street, near the junction with Green Street.
Island Echo understands that an altercation had taken place, with a male in his 40s allegedly pushed, potentially from a bike.
It is thought that a serious injury was sustained as he fell, hitting his head.
The man in his 40s was taken to St Mary’s Hospital for treatment to serious but not life-threatening or life-changing injuries.
A 30-year-old man from Ryde has been arrested on suspicion of wounding/inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary have confirmed that he remains in custody.


















































































What is happening thesedays!
The Island was once one of the last safe places in Britain
Times are changing.
It’s because of the fixed link, bringing all the crime to the isla…. oh wait.
Rubbish, the numpties are already here.
A fixed link will mean local troublesome numpties
can go elsewhere and cause trouble, there is more
law on the mainland to deal with them.
So your wisdom and observation and empirical experience persuades you that a fixed link would encourage and facilitate an exodus of local yobs from the island and no influx of anti social idiots in search of a bit of fun invading and laying waste to our green and fairly pleasant land? I suppose that chain of illogical thought and conclusion explains most of your posts.
I see the action was situated around scumbag corner again, all the drunks and druggies from Fellowship House use that area to congregate and cause problems.
