By Isle of Wight ObserverA video of a man being hit with a bottle and further assaulted has emerged.
The 41-year-old man was walking his dog in Cowes on Thursday (July 26) when he was attacked by a male at around 11.30pm.
The Bath Road incident appears to show a young male swing a bottle at the dog walker before punching, mounting, and further raining down blows on the victim’s head.
The attacker is then pulled away by a female and the video appears to show another woman take the victim’s shoe.
The victim then calls for the return of his shoe before the video ends.
A photo of the dog walker’s injuries has been circulating Isle of Wight Facebook groups attached to an appeal for information to find the attackers.
A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: “We were called to reports on July 26 at 11.32pm in Bath Road, Cowes.
