Multiple police units are in attendance at Ryde Esplanade this evening (Saturday) after an incident broke out in the proximity of Ryde Superbowl.
Residents of Ryde spotted 6 police units rushing to through the town to attend the incident at around 17:30.
It is unknown exactly what prompted the heavy police response, but it is known that at least 2 men have been detained following the incident, with 1 being transported by police van to Newport Police Station’s Custody Suite.
Police remain on scene awaiting a further transport van to convert the second of the men involved and are conducting further inquiries at this time.
Island Echo has approached Hampshire Constabulary for a statement.
Welcome to the holiday season.
Is there a difference?
Every day now isn’t it, every bloody day there’s some lowlife swill/snort spoiling the quallity of life for others unfortunate enough to be where they are. The courts need to put curfews on this scum making sure it’s kept away from other people. All this is the fault of the do gooders stopping proper punishment being imposed on them. If they can’t act in a proper manor when they are out among others, then they should ordered to stay in. If they defy the order, then lock them up to make sure they stay in.
Yes the do gooders are to blame for loads that’s wrong with our society. Make sure all the scummy types are living amongst everybody else and make them put up with their horrible behaviour while the do gooders themselves live in nicer areas away from them.
It’s not just holidays it’s just people who shouldn’t drink maybe
Lot of chavvy types on holiday this year
They were local scum.
Idiots fighting when they get some booze inside them. Obviously can’t handle it. Perhaps they should stay in and watch the telly because they obviously don’t know how to behave like civilised human beings.
What morons. Why should this macho aggression be allowed to affect the rest of us. It is terrifying for normal families and these yobs do not care one bit.
It is not what a family tourist destination needs.
We need courts to start handing out really deterrent sentences
Also actual costs should be awarded to the Emergency services in every case.
At a guess this response cost the taxpayers like us at least £2000 and took a large number of officers off other responses.
Our courts need to start listening to public opinion. The rest of us should not foot the bill for the fallout from criminal activity and yobbish behaviour.
Magaluf is out this year, so let’s get beered up on the Isle of Wight. Another great gift from Boris.
