A man has been treated for non-life threatening injuries following an incident near the Tesco store in Ramsey on Saturday morning.
Two people have been arrested in connection with the incident, which was reported to police in the early hours of the morning. The Bowring Road Tesco store and its car park remain closed while the investigation continues.
Isle of Man Constabulary confirmed they were called to reports of an assault near the popular retail outlet at approximately 3:30 AM. Emergency services attended the scene, and the injured man was taken to Noble's Hospital for treatment.
A police spokesperson said: "We are treating this as a serious incident and our investigation is ongoing. We would ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information to contact police immediately."
