Hampshire Constabulary is making further inquiries following a large-scale public disorder incident in Ryde’s Union Street in the early hours of Saturday morning (21st August).
Several police units attended the scene in Ryde’s main nightlife district at around 02:00 following reports of approximately 15 people fighting and altercating in the street.
Multiple units quickly responded and soon dispersed the remainder of those involved in the incident.
Police have revealed that 2 people received injuries during the altercation including a 30-year-old woman who sustained facial injuries and a 30-year-old man who suffered an ear injury.
Officers continue their investigations into the incident.
I wonder if they islanders or holiday makers?
Possibly Island related or a mix of both? Who knows. Either way it’s shabby behaviour!!
Nice to see the child benefits and child tax credits being spent wisely.
Should place them all into a secure enclosure and leave them to bash the hell out of each other, voilents is the only language they thrive on and understand.
We don’t want this filth on our streets, we have enough problems in life without this scum spoiling good people’s enjoyment..
What an embarrassment these people are. Holiday makers and island residents scrapping in the street I wonder? Are these people involved, all too stupid to go out and have a good time? Yes……
Don’t blame the people, blame the bars that allow them to get to this state, money before peoples wellbeing yet again. You just wait until the scooterists and the festival kick off.
Is this the end of the island as we know it? I am starting to think it is now safer to live on the mainland.
My friend from London used to visit regularly, he’s from Islington, and he finds it is rougher here (in Ryde and Newport and Sandown) each time he comes here.
How presumptuous it is to suggest its child tax credits and benefits or whatever is the way this is funded.. just shows how out of touch some of these commenters are. I would bet good money that Bay Winner hasn’t even been out in the last 20 years. Rich or poor people have disagreements and occasionally its going to result in a punch up. Big deal happens everywhere. Some of you assume the island is some kind of safe haven.. well guess what … bring on the red thumbs now lol
Well said,there are far to many people who seem to have some sort of illusion that the island is there own piece of utopia and any one who says different are shot down in flames. The year is 2021 and I thank f**k and count my blessings every day that my children are safe and secure,knowing that my family are not stuck in an inner-city tower block. Most of you guys have never had it better, can’t see the wood through the trees…moan moan moan moan moan…oh, there goes another empty crisp packet blowing in the wind.
So people leave their tower blocks and come to live here en masse and change the character of the Island, so it is no longer the nice place it used to be. Because they have the God-given ‘right’ to do so, of course. So when our formerly peaceful Island becomes just another version of what they left behind when they moved here – what then?
We move on to jersey innit (Muppet) (ps I was born and bred in bembridge before moving away to explore the world) maybe that’s what makes you what you are ?
If I had the money to buy somewhere anywhere in the UK, I think I’d choose Shrewsbury, or Winchester as they are both nice places which I enjoyed living in for the times i was there but that was a few years ago and the country has gone even further downhill since then. With the way things are going with the “let’s bring everything and everyone down to a certain level” attitude of the powers-that-be, this country is rapidly turning into a place that is not nice at all for people who value good manners and decent attitudes and unselfish and considerate behaviour from others. We are all expected to cope with drug users and alcoholics on our doorsteps along with their resultant objectionable behaviour and never raise one word of dissent about any of it.
Fair shout mate, I blame immigration, globalization and overpopulation,at least we got Brexit over the line to maybe buy us some extra time. One big melting pot ready to explode,sad but true. X
You are right. I regularly walk the streets of Ryde late at night never a problem, something I wouldn’t do in South London (Brixton) where I’m from. I’ve been here 25 years this Monday and honestly these people haven’t got a clue how safe it still is here. The insulation some islanders have is not healthy. Scared of their own shadows some of them.
Well said geez,hit the nail on the head 100%.
I’m not from the Isle of wight nor is my wife I lived there for 4 years because I met her there and we got married there too but we left the island and live on the mainland we have no regrets the island is really nice unfortunately the people are not friendly they just don’t like change, or meeting new people they are very suspicious all the time of people who are not from the Isle of Wight and this has a lot to do with that you become the company you keep rhey were born and bread there and they don’t know any other way of life and they are very two faced. I truly belive if the people who live there lived on the main land they would not survive for long.
