We’re appealing for witnesses to a serious assault which took place in Cowes on Sunday night (27 March).
Between 10pm and 10.20pm, a man in his 40s was assaulted by another man on Medina Road near to the Floating Bridge.
He sustained facial injuries and a broken wrist as a result.
Following the incident, we know that the victim spoke to a lady who we suspect witnessed the assault take place.
While we don’t currently have a description of this lady, we would appeal directly to her to make contact with us to describe what she saw.
In addition, we would appeal to anyone who was in the area and witnessed the assault on Sunday night to please make contact with us.
