Woman Arrested After "Aggressive" Behaviour On Wightlink Ferry

A 61-year-old woman has been arrested — and released under investigation — following a public order incident on a Wightlink ferry.

It's alleged a woman made her way onto the Victoria of Wight ferry without a ticket and became "aggressive and abusive".

Hampshire Constabulary says it was called to Gunwharf Quays at 11.26am.

A 61-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

She has since been released under investigation.

Earlier Wightlink said a 'medical incident' onboard was causing delays of up to an hour.

A spokesperson for the ferry firm said:

"We can confirm there was a medical emergency onboard Victoria of Wight this morning.

"It has unfortunately caused some delays to services between Portsmouth and Fishbourne.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused to customers."

*Update

*Police say the woman involved has now been dealt with by means of community resolution.

The investigation has now concluded.
