A 14-year-old boy from East Cowes has been arrested following an alleged assault in which an elderly man was kicked in the ribs and punched in the head whilst walking his dogs in Cowes yesterday afternoon (Wednesday).
The alleged incident occurred at around 15:00 in the grounds of Northwood House, as the victim was walking his 2 retriever dogs.
Island Echo understands that the incident occurred after the teen was seen allegedly vandalising a nearby war memorial. An altercation then took place, during which the pensioner was assaulted.
Videos circulating on social media appear to show the teenager delivering 4 kicks to the man’s abdomen before being restrained and led away.
Despite this, the youth is then seen approaching the 74-year-old again and punching him in the head, causing him to fall to the ground.
A Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesperson has said:
“We were contacted at 6:45pm yesterday (Wednesday 25th March) with a report that a 74-year-old man from Cowes had suffered injuries to his ribs and been punched in the head in an assault at around 3:00pm on the same day.
Following enquiries a 14-year-old boy from East Cowes was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Thankfully, the victim did not require hospital treatment and is now recovering at home with bruised ribs.
Cut off his internet for 6 months and take his phone away for 6 months too. Vile piece of excrement .
I’m wonder what sort of family it came from. What a disgusting piece of scum.
a typical east cowes 1
mummy wont take xbox away she will have to deal with him
Many parents cannot control their feral children.
What is going on!? First 3 lads attack a car driver and now another attacks a pensioner? Someone needs to get our local MPS involved and increase our police budget, which is the lowest in the country!
Not to mention the disabled man in a wheelchair in
Sandown, who sadly died a few days later.
We need law and order on the island, the island is no
longer a safe place.
Every year our Council tax goes up and nothing is being
done to tackle crime.
The country is lost!, whatever happened to GREAT Britain!
That’s because the police and courts are too soft on criminals.
Too head fucked
REFORM happened.
Since Reform are not in power locally or nationally i’m not sure how you can blame them. Secondly most people who vote Reform would be against someone putting graffiti on a war memorial, that sounds more like a left wing thing to do.
Reform couldn’t change a lightbulb, have you
seen many of their voters, looks like a scene from
Nightmare on Elm Street.
Frightening!
What a pathetic comment.
No Doubt the vile child will get a slap on the wrist, whilst boasting about it with his friends which he obviously got to film it.
I hope the elderly gentleman gets the help and support he needs.
I hope the parents are please they raised such a great child
alot of teenagers are now trying to jump this vile boy and anyone who was involved, karmas a b!tch.
Yes, the Natural Law is: “What ges around comes around”.
What absolute scum we have to encounter now, in day to day life. I would say the parents need a stern talking to, but no doubt they’re just as bad!
Correct, a child is only as good as their parents if the
parents are no good, then 9 times out of 10 their
children won’t be any good.
I bet his parents are so proud of him…
I reckon somone needs to invent a device, like an ankle tag, that does no ‘harm’, but inflicts agonising pain, 24 hours a day, 7 daya week,.. & scum like this, once convicted have to wear one for several years.
Parents? I bet my house it’s an unmarried fat single mum and the vile teen is officially and legally and actually a b astard.
Majority of children are from unmarried
families, that is where it’s gone wrong over
the years.
Proud proud parents i’m sure. The apple not fell from the tree no doubt. Hope neighbours and friends and extended family shun the whole close low life family.
Hang the little shite
I agree for such a cowardly crime this inhumane person
will NEVER be any good for society.
No doubt a mental episode..
This is absolutely disgusting.
throw away the key.
I do hope these kids never realise evidence sequencing thankyou for making your arrest easy for the police. Now consequences l just hope the gentleman assaulted recovers and the judge nails the boy hmmmm!! But some reason for his behaviour……he’s a good boy really!!
You are dreaming. In fact I can probably write the court report even now….
“Oscar Vincent said that the scrote had been suffering with an affliction that causes him to call strangers to whom he is not related either “Bruv” or “Fam”. To make matters worse, he does this in a silly squeaky voice which makes him appear to be mentally unwell.
These problems have meant he is only accepted in circles where others too are suffering the same affliction. It’s no wonder he lashed out at a normal person.
He has since turned his life around and would hope the court give him another chance. He promises not to harm anyone else, honest, Guv.
If that’s not good enough to get him off, I must inform the court that he has ADHD which means he doesn’t understand R E S P E C T and also has no idea who Aretha Franklin was.
To add insult to injury, his mother seems to have forced him to wear hand-me-down joggers that were clearly made for somebody with a larger bottom.”
He won’t be punished at all. He will be rewarded at our expense. My thoughts are with the old boy who got attacked. As much as I hate to talk this way, I really do hope he has family who will meter out some form of justice.
WOW! Bet his parents are proud of him!! Vandalising a war memorial then attacking a 74 year old man, Shame he is such a wimp that he can only pick on an object that cant fight back and a pensioner!!!! Lets hope someone MUCH larger than you picks on you the same way one day!!
Disgraceful, sickening & makes me sad how society has produced & nurtured this unforgivable shite. Send him to a war torn country to try & fight another bully. Clearly needs to channel energy into a true cause. Drug thug no doubt. Hope the jury gets to deliver a punishment worse, for example I am Happy to lynch, kick, punch, or film the sickening punishment, & he will never ever re-offend.
Sending best wishes to the victim. I would have done the same….challenge the scum
Sadly further proof that this country and this Island has sadly lost it’s way…
When did this form of behaviour become acceptable?
When did we become normalised to these type of headline? And these values?
And when did we lose all sense of self respect, let alone a sense of respect for others – both now – and for those who gave everything in the past?
While some may try, this has nothing to with politics and nor can we blame this on immigration.
This has everything to do with self – self accountability, self leadership, self ownership and self respect.
This is where the UK has lost it’s way. And why we left behind a nation hell bent on tearing itself apart.
My thoughts are with the gentleman left to heal when all he did was show moral courage and stand up for the right thing.
And as for the young man in question, I hope you put down your phone, get down your knees and beg for forgiveness.
Sadly this country is finished, it doesn’t matter who is
running the country, it is lost.
No wonder many people are moving to Australia or
New Zealand.
Bailed? After desecrating a war memorial and then two counts of ABH on a pensioner? This little shit needs putting away.
String them up!! This is what this country is breeding. Let them experience the same.
Watch the do gooders and hand wringers protect this evil little piece of feral shit again. Needs to get a kicking himself so he knows what it feels like. Way too much of this type scum being allowed to attack people when and as they like
If I was a relation of this poor pensioner I would find out who this piece of excrement was and pay him a little visit to show him the error of his ways! – an eye for an eye!! Trouble is he will get a slap wrist and I would get banged up because that’s the way of the justice system in this country.
You are so so right !
For once I am lost for words.
This piece of disrespectful scum needs instant
imprisonment / Borstal
TO CARRY OUT SUCH ACTS IS INHUMANE, HE WILL NEVER
BE ANY GOOD FOR SOCIETY!
To vandalise a war memorial is UNFORGIVABLE.
This piece of sh*t might not be here if it was not for war
heroes who gave their all for this country and then to
attack a pensioner is UNFORGIVABLE
If his parents are on benefits they should be stopped
immediately and I personally don’t care how old he is
strong punishment is needed!, NO EXCUSES! due to age
TEENAGERS NEED TO BE TAUGHT RIGHT FROM WRONG AT
SCHOOL AND THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT “RESPECT”
What is becoming of this island, an innocent man was
attacked in Sandown recently by teenagers and now this.
The island used to be a safe place.
Islandwide CCTV is much required and more police on the
beat.
He’s hard?Unfortunately young man there is always someone harder than you.
Absolutely disgusting, who ever the teenager is I’d give him a run for his money. Parents must be so proud of you……
What vile scum.
Ok so why has he been bailed? He was doing something to a war memorial, the gentleman with respect for our fallen soldiers did not like what he saw happening so he intervened and was beaten up!! show some respect you stupid little boy hope your parents are proud of you? Name the stupid little boy let’s see how brave you are then? I hope the gentleman is ok?
Let’s just hope the justice system punishes the kid and makes the parents feel it too. Little brat needs to learn
Bring back corporal punishment. Make the punishment fit the crime. Maybe that would make feral youth think twice before they acted.
How disgusting broken Britain, some excuse will be used like oh he has ADHD, or he is Autistic, come on he knows the difference between right & wrong, I hope it comes right back at him, I hope the poor Gentleman makes a good recovery.
Before we hear it argued that this poor child has mental ‘issues’ and was the ‘victim of a toxic environment’ we have to accept and address and ever growing problem. Too many young people are not being taught the basic rules we all need to follow for society to work and people can rub along together. It goes back further than a generation of psychobabble and changing attitudes, but this incident illustrates exactly what’s gone wrong. And it can only get worse if we don’t get a grip on the situation. Let’s see what happens to this young victim of a bad environment when he’s up before the beak, but I think we can predict the result…and that’s one of the causes of such feral behaviour.
He’s from yachting blue blood seems privileged so funny hand shake leave it a while …..he’s a good boy really good family and after all we pensioners should be seen and not heard ….. fancy that next the elderly gentleman will be charged for assaulting the boys foot with his stomach….bedlam…. What goes around comes around we can only hope and pray mummy and daddy will be lost at sea, because as parents they are losers probably too wrapped up in their own little gin and tonic world to notice what a piece of “shhhit” their DNA has produced.
The trouble is he is probably reading all these comments (if, in fact, he can actually read!) and is feeling good from all the reactions wearing them as a badge of honour!!This is the type of personality that eventually end up doing time for manslaughter or murder.
True he’ll now have a repect amongst his peers like never before. He’ll he’ll be untouchable. Feared by most his own age and if he does nothing again he’ll be held on a pedestal by the young. The old like us will just let him get away with it for fear of a later attack from him, friends or family against us, our house or property. So unfortunatly he as i say is untouchable and all us keyboard warriors can do is bluster.
Bring back the Birch !!
The Birch is a great deterrent.
Bring back the stocks on the village green. Job sorted at little cost.
This incident has outraged many people and this won’t be last we hear of it.
What a vile child, hope the parents are ashamed of what they brought into this lovely community.
His mother was there,
She must be vile to allow this happening
Anyone under the age of 17 that commits a crime the parents should also be held responsible.
Bang up the parents.
Name and shame him and his parents!!if internet footage was going around others were there to witness it!bail him,!I know there were only 100 places available thru out UK last weekend in our jail’s!!!100 for the whole UK people!and bugger off Reform it’s various politicians and civil servants trying to sell off prison land or closing down prisons whoever thought that was a good idea!!send the little cretp to borstal on mainland they do have a few spare places brave enough to be filmed then you should be brave enough to enter borstal and it’s a long way from the nice Police officers and their cells on The Island
Anyone know the names of these kids please????
And if the elderly person fought back, guess who would be the vile person for daring to hurt an ‘innocent ‘ child.
Act like a grown up, get treated like a grown up.
Should have given the precious darling a broken jaw and involuntary tooth removal.
Wouldn’t be a big man then eh!
What if the person he attacked was a politician or royal
I bet he would face the full force of the law then!
It makes one wonder does the law represent ordinary folk!
after all we pay their wages.
Re-open the disused prison as a borstal
It would be full by the end of the year and it would create
jobs, exactly what the island needs.
What absolutely scummy children they need to be taken to a city and let the city deal with them. The mother is Corinne gillard and works for boatshedisleofwight.com obviously think they are untouchable because of money I hope the company she works for knows what scum they associate with
Just google the mums name
it all comes up,even a phone number and e mail address!
If anyone knows the thing which spawned it they instantly understand where it got its attitude from
You have to be careful naming people, do you know for a fact that this is the mother
If you lived near the family you would understand how scum is produced
The way things are going, this shit show are buying so many votes off the low life by giving them just smacked wrists, they will be getting back in there
This is an absolute disgrace and hope the pensioner is recovering. There is definitely a problem with some teenagers in this country and island. A few years back, we had a group of teenagers ransacking a large house causing tens of thousands of pounds of damage. Very little happened to them. Last month, a man in a wheelchair was assaulted by teenagers and died a week later. Last week, we had thugs assault an innocent driver because the thugs were annoyed that THEY collided with the innocent car driver. Then we have this. Unfortunately, we have liberal do-gooders in the schools, police and courts. They feel sorry for these criminals because they will have a record. The courts will give them another chance. Well, I’m sick of this liberal attitude towards these types. In the doctors‘ surgery a while back, some gobby teenagers had their dirty feet on the coffee table in reception. I felt ashamed that I didn’t say anything as I knew I would get a mouthful back, or even worse. Nobody said anything to these gobby teenagers. MOST of the ‘good’ teenagers leave the island for university leaving behind a large percentage of the ‘bad’ ones. It’s the same in many of the countrie’s coastal towns. We need MORE police on the streets, CCTV and more detention centres.
We need vigilantes and more eye for an eye principles, and the do gooders and hand wringers got rid of. They are aiding and abetting this scum by protecting them and siding with them. We also need borstals back as a deter ant and tagging and that ”Because of their age bullshit” got rid of. Scum is scum at what ever age
I could not have said it better myself.
More scum from monkey town alleged bollocks parunts to blame for scum like this..if together even…filth, more shit on benefits for life later..
I would so love to meet this vile piece of sxxt and batter him, damaging a war memorial and attacking a 74 year old man is the pits
Locally bred engineer – Aha, they live amongst us.
For years I have heard locals blame mainlanders for
crime.
it is island born and bred scum that is responsible for
the majority of the crime on the island.
Maybe their parents are persons who have at one time
come from the island.
The majority of elderly Islanders I have come across over
the last 50 years are law abiding persons.
He should be jailed for at least 10 years with no parole,and his parents made to pay a big fine and compensation to the gentleman,, with the fine money also going to the gentleman
Years ago people were hanged for stealing a loaf of bread.
we have become a Namby Pamby state!
Soft as a marshmallow
25th June at the magistrates court should reveal more then. Hope they are not lenient with him otherwise what’s the point?
They will be..the scum 14 so nothing..
Name this piece of shite so we can all have a go at him
That ginger kid hit him on second attack
I’ve read the bloke is too scared to walk his dogs alone now.
I’m local to Cowes. If someone can put me in touch with him I’ll happily walk with him a few times a week.
Should have had 2 XL Bullies, that would have sorted out
the feral piece of scum
This is absolutely vile, what is going on on this island, I hope the man and the dogs are okay and karma gets back to this vile boy. Absolutely disgraceful.
He it a vile child, whose out enjoying the Easter half term.
mothers probably taken him on a holiday to reward the little shite.
funny how theres now many people trying to jump this freak. i would to. dirty piece of shite
They ain’t doing a good job if so.
