A man in his 20s has suffered a head injury following a late night assault in Newport, which led to a road being cordoned off overnight.
As first reported by Island Echo, Police taped off Lugley Street between Post Office Lane and Mill Street following an incident outside the Travelodge hotel.
It has now been confirmed by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary that they were called at 22:33 last night (Thursday) to reports of an assault.
A local man in his 20s suffered a head injury but thankfully his injuries are not considered serious.
Island Echo is told that the male was found in an unconscious state and bleeding from his head.
No arrests have been made at this time but enquiries remain ongoing.
Cordons have been lifted in the area this morning.

































































































Total scum kicking a man in the head while he is down. Remember what goes around, comes around. Karma.
Terrible thing to do, love island, not.
Of course this don’t happen any where else in the country !!
More Caulkheads causing trouble
How do you know that? A large percentage of people living on the Island now, weren’t born here.
Stuart we found ur little pecker
What are you, 12?
Iny weeny teeny weeny shriveled little short Man
I’m sure Trevor does it just to rile all up and gets a kick out of it.Regardless of Islanders or oveners it’s a terrible thing to do to anybody,leaving him to bleed, something seriously wrong with those that did the attack.. karma has to do double its work..
It was very rare here, not anymore very sad. When I lived in Ventnor this happened outside a pub on Christmas Eve and the man who was attacked died. Drunken people don’t realise how their actions can get out of control.
Karma is just gutless, frightened people’s way of trying to fool themselves and others, that the growing amount of crime and low life ‘will’ pay the price, when the hard to accept for some, truth is they will have a far better life than most doing a 9 till 5, by spreading clones to every dim available womb, always having a ‘free’ house to live, and spend each day doing what ‘they’ not a boss pleases.
I know people want to hear something ‘beautiful’ rather than face facts, hence ‘Karma’ fools will get the most thumbs up, No matter the truth is ALL that counts.
What are you talking about you boring git
And you know all the truth I suppose.
Least it will be on CCTV…… Oh wait we don’t have working CCTV in Newport anymore thanks IOW council
There will be even less as the Tories need to do more tax cuts to buy the next election. Which is all really a lie they tell as we’re at the highest level of taxes since the 70’s. When Putin has to leave Russia he’ll come here, he’ll be right at home with the Tories.
Bloody communist, shut-up….
Putin isn’t a communist, at least get your facts right. Evil yes, but not a communist.
Never mentioned Putin…..God your dumb…
If everyone of voting age makes the effort to go and vote at the next General Election, the bloody Tories won’t get in again…..well they won’t if everyone wakes up and realises they are ruining the UK and running it into the ground.
Most of us have witnessed both the labour and tory governments make a mess of this country over the years, some people have given up on voting because you are only choosing which turd to stand in next.
The last person to walk into parliament with honest intentions was Guy Fawkes.
Maybe if they didn’t get rid of the true Labour leader we could have had a decent chance.
All politicians are the same, a bunch of liars, regardless of what party thet are!
None of them come up with the goods once elected, Seldom seen Seely is living proof of that
Get some help, obviously you have had your head kicked kin….
Man attacked in the street, blame the Tories.
Because it never happened with a Labour government, obviously.
I really do despair sometimes as to people’s intelligence.
No CCTV on Dinosaur Isle only Dummies
Didn’t fight back hard enough then..
There’s always someone bigger and tougher than yourself, someone has to lose…..sometimes it’s better to turn the other cheek, thugs will always meet their mach sooner or later….
Does anyone from island echo read these comments ?
Is spitting venom Allowed ?
