Rye is sadly not immune to serious crime and last Sunday the emergency services attended an incident in the town centre, their sirens alerting all that something was amiss. A serious assault had taken place and this is the press release from Rother Police (Sunday May 15) regarding the incident outside the Queen’s Head pub in Rye.
“We responded to a report of a man with a knife who had injured two people outside the Queen’s Head hotel in Rye in the early hours of Saturday 14 May. The two victims were taken to hospital for treatment and are being supported by officers. Their injuries were not life threatening. A man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and remains in custody.
We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information which could help our investigation please report online or ring 101 quoting serial 24 of 14/05.”
