Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to after a 37-year-old man suffered a fractured knee in an assault on Cowes High Street.
The incident happened at around 03:00 on Saturday 8th August – almost a month ago – when a man approached a group of people who were not known to him.
He then struck a 37-year-old man, causing him to fall to the ground and suffer a fracture to his right knee.
The injured man attended hospital following the incident.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has now released an image of a man officers believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
Anyone who recognises the man, or who has information about the assault, is being urged to contact Police on 101 quoting crime reference 44260383530. Information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
Details can be submitted directly to Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary online at www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/.
There are some real pieces of scum living on our island
It was never like this, things have got worse over the past
20 years, and more so since the pandemic.
Cannot help thinking if the picture had been released sooner after the attack there may have been more chance of identification?
One month ago was Cowes Week so the person could have sailed to the other side of the world by now.
That is very true, time is vital.
