A man and a woman travelling in a Land Rover Discovery, who are said to be key witnesses to an assault which took place in Ryde last October, are being sought by Police.
It was during the early hours of 8th October 2022, between 03:00-03:40, that a male and a female – both aged in their 50s – were assaulted on Union Street, near to Yelf’s hotel.
Officers have been conducting a number of enquiries and as a result have arrested 2 people – a 22-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman – on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. They have been released from custody but remain under investigation while enquiries continue.
Now, Police are keen to identify the occupants of the silver Land Rover pictured in the CCTV images. The 1st image shows the Land Rover, and the 2nd shows a man and a woman who were in the vehicle.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary say that it’s understood this vehicle stopped and spoke to people at the scene, and a woman in the vehicle helped 1 of the victims to get back up on his feet and across the road.
The occupants of this vehicle are being treated as witnesses.
If you were in this vehicle you are asked to get in touch with Police by calling 101, quoting 44220409216.
I can’t even remember what I had for tea last week let alone back in October. The police really don’t help themselves by putting out these late witness appeals. Its a spoiler for all the good work they do.
What’s wrong with people? Can’t go out without some axxxxle ruining it. Sad sad sad
