THE trial of Felix Hetherington is underway, after an attack on Caesars Road which left a man fighting for his life.
Mr Hetherington, 28, of St Edmunds Walk, Wootton, is charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent on February 21, 2021 - a charge he denies.
A trial started yesterday (Monday) at the Isle of Wight Crown Court and is expected to last five days. A jury has been sworn in and the evidence is underway.
There have been delays to the start of the trial over the past few months.
Shortly after the attack, two people were detained on suspicion of attempted murder.

Five people were arrested. Mr Hetherington, plus two men, aged 44 and 41, and two women, aged 41 and 25.
