It's alleged a 24-year-old man was assaulted by another man in Collingwood Road in Newport near Nine Acres School shortly before 3pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2012.

The victim, from Newport, Isle of Wight, received scratches and bruising to his neck, chest and arms.

Investigating officer PC Mark Thomas said:  'This assault was reported near Nine Acres school just before 3pm when there would have been many people around collecting their children from the school at that time.'
