A Shanklin man has been jailed after a fight broke out in the Wetherspoons pub in Ryde.
Police received reports of an altercation at the site in Union Street at around 12.15am on Saturday (4).
It was reported that 30-year-old Sean Lloyd-Fagan tried to provoke a man at the bar by repeatedly touching his beard, before backing the man into a corner.
A fight broke out which saw Mr Lloyd-Fagan throw multiple punches and seemingly try to bite the victim – who has not yet been identified by police.
He was subsequently arrested and charged by police with affray, before appearing at Isle of Wight Magistrates’ Court today (Tuesday).
Mr Lloyd-Fagan, formerly of Sibden Road in Shanklin, admitted the offence and was jailed for 18 weeks.
