Three Arrested After Violent Scuffle with Police
- A 42-year-old man faces charges for possession of a bladed article.
- A 20-year-old man was arrested for assaulting an emergency worker during a heated scuffle.
- A 42-year-old woman was also detained for obstructing a police officer.
Detective Sergeant Al Roper of Nottinghamshire Police slammed the violence: “Vehicle stops like this one play a hugely important role in helping us take knives off the streets and out of harm’s way.”
He added: “There should never be an excuse for carrying weapons in public. It puts everyone at risk, including the carrier.”
DS Roper also condemned attacks on emergency workers: “Police officers don’t deserve to be assaulted while trying to do their jobs. This behaviour is totally unacceptable.”
Police Appeal for Information
Three arrests have been made, but inquiries continue. Anyone with info is urged to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident 676 of 4 November 2022.
