A 31-year-old man from Shanklin has been arrested after a number of Police officers were assaulted during an incident in Ryde yesterday evening (Saturday).

Officers responded to School Street, Oakfield at just before 18:00 following reports of a disturbance at a residential address.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary has told Island Echo:

“Officers attended and a 31-year-old man from Shanklin was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and three counts of assaulting a constable in the execution of their duty.

“He remains in custody”.

UPDATE @ 17:55 – 31-year-old Robert Church has been charged with 4 offences. He has been remanded in custody to appear before the court tomorrow. Read more at https://www.islandecho.co.uk/shanklin-man-charged-with-injuring-3-police-officers-in-ryde/.

This is absolutely disgusting , Shame on this man (if he can be callled this) for one hitting a woman ! And also biting someone ! He should be given a long hard prison sentence and a tougher sentence based on the times we are all in. This man’s selfish actions have likely caused the police officer/s involved to now be off sick and our streets need the police at this time.

Oh he’ll have his solicitor turn around and say he was raised in a dodgy place, has a drug addiction he’s trying to manage, and has been in and out of this and that. Then they’ll just slap him with a fine. I’d say community service too but given the current situation with the virus I doubt he’ll get community service.

Reply to Kelly, no matter what the reason, a real man would not hit a woman, makes it worse he assaulted police officers. Ignorant, disrespectful low life this person is. There is a world wide pandemic and yes this deadly virus is on the island, police don’t need idiots like him kicking off. Hope he gets what’s coming to him, a long stretch at her Majestie’s pleasure.

Just breeding the next ever more vile generation to ensure the degradation of society grows ever worse. Cut child UC to the bone, as this sort usually have the most ensuring a growing disproportionate amount of ever more low life to normal caring, people in our society.

Labour’s mistake, is thinking it is lack of money, that makes them so anit social, but in truth, giving more cash ensures they just breed more ever worse clones, thinking that ‘their way’ of living, as ‘they are doing alright’ ‘is’ the correct way of carrying on.

A real period of poverty would take them down a peg and let them see that the ‘world’ does not owe them and their clones a living, and then ‘some’ only a few, but some, would aspire to escape the ever full womb way of ‘earning a living’ via the rest of us, but not being grateful just expecting and demanding and biting the hand that feed them.

Wise up, see them how they ARE not how some middle class BBC presenter likes to show them.

Use your eyes, not via a biased TV screen.

Disgusting to hit a police officer and that should ALWAYS be a long custodial – but equal ops and equal pay so the sex is irrelevant.
If it were any other dog acting like this it would be put down. Simples.

Whilst I agree the need for the police to be able to do their job in safety there are too few facts here to jump to conclusions.

There is a reason why there are international laws in place severely limiting the use of 24 hour confinement – in addition to medical affects, confinement causes stress and, eventually, psychological damage.

I’m afraid that this will be one of the first of many such incidents as the lockdown continues and tempers start to fray.

It’s also sad to see the level of abuse that is being posted – shoot someone in the head or drop them off a cliff? Seriously?

Don’t you get it? Decent people have had enough. For years now we have had to be afraid to speak out, the do-good brigade have silenced anyone who dares to mention the bad behviour of scum. So the scum have got more and more prevalant. They breed like rabbits anyway so there seems to be more of them around than there are decent people. We have had to suffer in silence for so long, without a voice, whereas the trash have got social reformers and do-gooders sticking up for them at every turn.

There are Scum and there are total scum in this World and whilst all our attention is drawn to pulling together and getting behind the NHS Police and bereaved families this person decides to be a total idiot and not only injure our Police officers who were called as a result of someone in distress “probably a young lady” he took it to assault a WPC in breaking her nose! Well what a hero he is and his family and friends will be so proud of him! yes punish him with jail but also plaster his name up so everyone can the see who this brave idiot is! Im sorry but this really does upset me when I read these stories when we are all in a zone that this World has never been and we all need to support one another!

Insulting to wild animals, Clare, but I agree with your sentiment. I’d go one better and say euathanise him and all like him. No doubt the do-good brigade will be saying he has drug or alcohol ‘problems’ and/or mental illness, anyone with mental health problems but who don’t turn to drink and drugs is not even taken seriously by the do-gooders anyway.

The point being, if he is mental, then best put down, as likely incurable. If he is just evil, best put down as still incurable.

I bet he doesn’t live in School Road. In the good old days the Police would have removed his teeth. Problem is nowadays the real police are up against the villians, CPS , IOW magistrates and their own butterfly bosses.

Why we don’t deal with individuals like this more harshly is beyond me. As a country we have become so PC and liberal in our approach to criminality that they think they can get away with it. We’re out of Europe now and a review of our namby pamby laws is now needed. I’m all for being polite and respectful however where law breakers are concerned the police should be less respectful and polite and be more forceful in their actions to reduce crime. In one European country when a person is convicted everything they own is siezed and auctioned off to pay towards their prison sentence. It’s a major deterrent and one we should adopt. As for this guy, I hope his nose is broken when he accidentally trips when he enters the dock.

Britain today. Land of the rising scum. But let’s not judge him too harshly, he probably has a drug habit to contend with or a drink problem or anything else the liberal lefties use as excuses for why scum are actually, just scum.

This whole social system needs to be reset. We need to out all the corrupt government and officials, then with a new government set the laws the people want,like hang murders, serious violent offenders. Stop corrupt solicitors, getting scum off, when they know what the scum has done is wrong. And finally, put in place a system that stops scum breeding scum.. you have to meet certain criteria to even be aloud to have children, a job would be a good start. When all this is in place, then people will feel that justice can really happen

School Street? This was one of the areas in Ryde where you wouldn’t feel safe to be in if you didn’t actually live there. At least that was how it was perceived when I was growing up.
Maybe it’s not so bad there now, but reading something like this, it doesn’t sound like it’s much better now.
Wasn’t this one of the areas built to house the so called “problem” families?
