Police swooped on a Mapperley pub after a fight broke out outside on Tuesday evening — with one man reportedly armed with a knife.
Officers were called to the Plainsman on Woodthorpe Drive, Mapperley, at around 6.25pm on June 23rd, where a man was found with facial injuries. He was taken to hospital, though his injuries are not thought to be life‑altering.
Four men were arrested on suspicion of affray, and police say a knife was recovered at the scene. One of the suspects was also held on suspicion of carrying a knife in a public place.
Detective Inspector Ed Cook said there was a “significant police response” but stressed the disturbance was an isolated incident that officers quickly brought under control.
He added that detectives still want to hear from anyone who was in or around the pub at the time and may have information that could help the investigation.
