Police are investigating a fracas at a pub in Ryde which left a man in his 20s with serious injuries.
Officers were deployed to The Crown public house on High Street at 22:40 last night (Saturday) following reports that a man had been assaulted by another man.
The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service also responded to the incident, later conveying the injured party to St Mary’s Hospital for further assessment and treatment.

There has been no suggestion of any weapons being involved.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary says an investigation is ongoing. No arrests have been made.

What an island this is becoming,
when you cannot go out for a drink in
peace.
There are so many troublemakers in todays
society.
Ryde is full of Anti-social people!.
It’s pretty clear to me now, sad to say, that the relaunch of Island Echo was aimed at getting rid of readers’ comments, and just sticking with the readily controllable news items. I would have preferred that to have been upfront from the start, than making us struggle, in a spirit of helpfulness, but in fact wasting our time.
My thoughts, exactly.
