Police are appealing for witnesses following an incident close to the Strawberry Fields at the Isle of Wight Festival on Friday, June 14.
Sometime between 9pm and 9.30pm a disagreement between two men and two women has ended up in a fight, which left a 30-year-old man with a broken bone in his hand. He was treated for the injury at St Mary’s Hospital.
Investigating Officer PC Angela Wood said:
“Reported crime at the Isle of Wight Festival was low this year. We believe that there were a lot of people around at the time – they may have witnessed the assault. We would appeal for them to come forward with any information as the nature of the attack left a man with serious injuries.”
