A man has appeared in court in connection with an incident where two police officers were assaulted in Bestwood Village.
The officers were injured while arresting a man following a pursuit which ended when a vehicle crashed in The Square in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
A lock knife was also recovered during the incident.
Neither of the officers or the suspect was seriously injured.
Jacob Carter, of Minkley Drive, Heanor, has been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving without insurance, drink-driving, driving otherwise in accordance with a licence, two counts of assaulting an emergency worker and being in possession of a bladed article.
The 31-year-old appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 1 July and will next appear in court on July 22.
Inspector David Mather, of Nottinghamshire Police’s operational support team, said: “This was a very challenging situation and the two armed response officers involved did a great job in bringing it to a safe conclusion.
“This incident is yet another example of the potential dangers officers face every day as they carry out their duties.”
