Two men were arrested following a fracas outside a West Wight country pub on Sunday in which a man was cut on his cheek with a knife.
A Police spokesman said: “We were called at 5.22pm on Sunday following reports of an assault outside the Three Bishops pub in Brighstone.
“It was reported that following an altercation in the pub garden between a group of people known to one another, a man was assaulted. During this incident, he sustained a laceration to his cheek, suspected to have been caused by a Stanley knife.
