Two Arrested After Violent Assault in Nottingham City Centre
Two men have been arrested following a shocking attack on a man walking with a woman and child in Nottingham city centre.
Man Punched and Attacked with Objects on Upper Parliament Street
The victim was approached by a group at around 5.50pm on Tuesday, 29 November, on Upper Parliament Street. Without warning, he was punched in the face and had objects thrown at him in a brutal, unprovoked assault.
Second Threatening Incident in Aspley Hours Later

Two Men Arrested – Investigation Ongoing
- A 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray.
- An 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of affray.
Detective Sergeant Al Roper said: “This was a completely unprovoked attack on a man who was in the presence of a young child when this happened. “As a force we condemn all forms of aggressive behaviour and don’t want to see this type of violent disorder taking place on our streets. “We have since managed to arrest two suspects in connection with this assault, as well as a second incident that took place soon afterwards. “Our investigation is still ongoing to fully establish what happened, so we’d ask anyone with information to call the police on 101, quoting incident 673 of 29 November 2022. “People can also report any information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
