A 17-year-old boy from Douglas has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm following an incident on Loch Promenade in the early hours of yesterday morning.
A 33-year-old Peel man suffered serious head injuries in the attack, which happened near the prom's junction with Walpole Avenue at around 3am.
He was transferred to Walton Neurological Hospital in Liverpool yesterday afternoon.

Inspector Shimmin is also urging people not to speculate about the incident online:
