Officers on the Isle of Wight are investigating a report of a serious assault in Ryde.

We were called to Ashey Road shortly after 3:50pm on Monday 26 June.

A 20 year-old man reported that he was assaulted by three men he did not know who had their faces covered.

He was treated at St Marys Hospital for a cut to his head, possibly caused by a blade, and has since been discharged.

Enquiries are ongoing to locate the men involved.
