4 people have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent following an altercation which led to 4 people receiving injuries in Cowes last night (Friday).
Police were called at 19:53 to reports of an altercation involving several people taking place on Park Road at the junction of Victoria Road, as previously reported by Island Echo.
Officers attended and arrested a 34-year-old man from Ventnor on suspicion of affray, using threatening/abusive words/behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and causing section 18 grievous bodily harm with intent.
On police attendance, the man assaulted an officer and was further arrested on suspicion of common assault of an emergency worker.
A 32-year-old man from Cowes, a 21-year-old woman from Newport and a 30-year-old man from Newport were also arrested on suspicion of causing section 18 grievous bodily harm with intent.
All 4 remain in police custody at the current time.
A man in his 30s received injuries to his shoulder and leg, a second man in his 30s had minor injuries to his elbow, a third man in his 30s received a minor injury to his head and a woman in her 20s received minor injuries to her hand. They were taken to hospital for treatment and have since been discharged.
Enquiries to determine the circumstances of this incident are underway.
A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary has said:
“We would like to reassure the local community that at the current time we believe all parties involved to be known to each other and that there is no wider risk to the public.
“Officers remain in the area today conducting enquiries. We would encourage anyone with information or concerns to come and speak to them, or phone 101”.
Extremely low IQ chavs either high, stoned or pi**ed – or all three more likely.
yeah you tell em
At their ages they should know better. Grow up for Christ sake. Load of chavs.
Not totally sure about this term ‘further arrested’ that has crept into our language. Surely, you are either arrested or not. Perhaps the term ‘double arrested’ should be used instead, and if the accused is found guilty, their punishment is doubled.
You what ? ……. what tosh.
The last time I was in Cowes there was a woman who could have created a squall with her fake eyelashes and become glued to anyone or thing she kissed. Lips etc so inflated she would make a good fender.
Ghastly, and most likely all paid for by tax credits and child allowance, and subsidised rent, whilst sending the kids up for free food parcels.
Need steralisating after having and ruining one new life.
IF they work full time, and no claims then good luck to them wasting their cash, but all too oft it is the state funding their vanity.
i would imagine the elite CID will smash this gang, some on boys
