Two men have been arrested after drink cans and a bike helmet were hurled at police during a high-speed chase on a stolen motorcycle in Arnold.
Officers were on patrol in the town when they spotted two men riding a motorbike which did not have a registration plate.
As the bike passed the police car an item was thrown and struck the windscreen.
Officers from the Operational Support team began pursuing the motorbike after it then failed to stop around 7.45pm on Tuesday (24).
The bike was ridden dangerously and at speed along residential streets through the town.
Further items, including a helmet and drink cans, were also flung towards police before officers made tactical contact with the bike at low speed.
One suspect remained with the bike and the other was detained after a brief foot chase.
Officers found two knives when they carried out searches and seized a crowbar which was found nearby.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a knife in a public place, driving a motor vehicle dangerously, failing to stop and driving without a licence or insurance.
A second man, aged 24, was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a knife in a public place, criminal damage, going equipped for theft and an unrelated assault.
Inspector Steven King, local area commander for Gedling borough, said: “The officers on patrol did an excellent job to bring this pursuit to a safe conclusion, make two arrests and seize a stolen motorcycle.
