Man arrested after 'disturbance' at Buckland house as window is smashed

A ground-floor front window has been smashed at a house in Hampshire Street, where red spatters on a sofa and walls can be seen.

It is currently unknown why the man has been arrested.

Next door neighbour Abdul Wadud, who has lived on the road for more than 20 years, said he heard ‘lots of banging’ at 8am.

He said: ‘I was asleep and I woke up and heard lots of banging. It sounded like someone trying to get in.’

The 41-year-old was later woken by police as his car had been splattered by what he was told was blood.

He said: ‘There’s not a lot, but I’ve had to wash some blood off my car.’

A police spokesman said: ‘Officers are currently at an address on Hampshire Street, Portsmouth, following reports of a disturbance.

‘A man has been arrested at the scene, this is ongoing at this time.’

A resident, who has lived in the street for 28 years, said the incident is ‘very out of the ordinary.’

The neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: ‘This level of crime is very out of the ordinary.

‘Generally it’s quite quiet around here. There were a few issues years ago - but nothing like this.’
