Police moved in on an address in Cowes yesterday lunchtime (Monday) in a bid to locate and arrest a man wanted in connection with an assault.
At around 11:50, a large number of officers rendezvoused in a car park before relocating to nearby Love Lane, where they were targeting a residential property as part of an ongoing investigation.
32-year-old Rhys Patrick Davies was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with common assault. This relates to an incident on Fellows Road, Cowes on 9th March.
Davies has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court this morning (Tuesday).
