An investigation has been launched after an incident saw 3 people fall through a shop window on Union Street in Ryde in the early hours of this morning (Saturday).
As previously reported by Island Echo, a cordon was erected in the early hours of this morning following reports that an altercation had taken place resulting in injuries to at least 1 person.
The incident took place outside the Beachcomber shop and it has now been revealed that 2 men and 1 woman had fallen through the glass at the front of the shop, with the 2 men taken to St Mary’s Hospital for treatment.
As a result, 3 men were arrested, 2 on suspicion of affray and 1 on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and affray.
A spokesperson from Hampshire Constabulary has said:
“We were called out at o1:35 this morning (6 August) following reports of an assault on Union Street in Ryde.
“It comes after an alleged altercation between three men, in which a man in his 30s received a number of puncture wounds to his back and arms.
“During the incident, it is reported that 2 men, and a woman, had fallen through a shop window – resulting in lacerations to the faces and legs of those involved.

“A scene guard has been put in place while officers carry out enquiries to ascertain the exact circumstances of the incident.
“A 33-year-old man from Devizes in Wiltshire was arrested on suspicion of affray.
“A 27-year-old man from Ryde was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and affray.
“A 26-year-old man from Ryde was arrested on suspicion of affray.
“They remain in custody at this time.”
Lets guess, £50 fine, and £124.67 damages.
All 3 will claim they are suffering from “mental stress” and will get a very minor slap on the wrist, deferred.
That must be the most customers they have had in one go.
What a dick comment At least we know who the bellends are on the Island. This shop owner has to close due to drunken fucktards, losing their source of income and having to claim on their insurance, pushing their premium up.
Or at all ;#
They’re just window shopping. What’s the problem?
Am I correct in assuming that their injuries were life threatening, i.e. they were about to bleed to death? Because apparently St Mary’s refuse to treat if not life threatening.
What a pane in the ass.
Not if they had drunk enough
How can you fall through a window ?, clearly they were pushed or fell against window to break it then went through – Criminal damage me thinks
Hence an investigation being launched…
I feel sorry for the poor shop owner who cant open their business and will loose money because of drunken idiots
It’s always the innocent, hard working people who suffer because of mindless, sh*t for brains idiots.
Absolute, 100% brainless morons. Too stupid to just go out and have a good time. Whoever is at fault, stay home, don’t drink because you obviously cannot hold your liquor!
typical feral scum dragged up without being taught any moral standards or respect
Three people, alleged to have fallen over, warrants a ‘scene guard’, but local businesses are attacked on Ventnor shore, fires are set by same disgusting individual, and kestrels are crucified on the cliffs and the Peelers refused, at first to attend… Didn’t respond in the way local taxpayers wished, but certainly responded favourably to a certain owner of a site which had a life-threatening fire after he said they would. Poor sods! Wouldn’t be a copper for anything these days. They are the ones who are handcuffed.
I expect the shop owner will be prosecuted for having an unsafe shop window glass not up to regulation strength or thickness.
All arrested on suspicion of affray, think some comments have gone overboard on character assassination. Think we need to know was it accidental or with intent! I do feel for shop owner, they are the only innocent in this episode.
How does a shop like that make money if even when it’s door is smashed in nothing is stolen.
