Police have made arrests in Carlton after an officer was allegedly assaulted while breaking up an illegal gathering during lockdown.
Officers made the arrests at an address on Valley Road.
The police officer was assaulted at the scene of an illegal gathering shortly after 11.30pm on Saturday night (28).
Police chiefs are now appealing to the public asking them to comply with national restrictions after a number of events were broken up and fines were handed out over the weekend.
Detective Superintendent Andrew Gowan, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The very last thing we want to be doing as police officers is to be punishing people for gathering together and having fun. However, the current national restrictions are in place to protect the wider public from harm and we will keep enforcing them for as long as we need to.
“Whilst it is heartening that the vast majority of people clearly understand and are obeying the current restrictions, it is deeply disappointing that so many others needed such an expensive reminder that the rules apply equally to everyone.
“We understand that this is a difficult time but there really are no excuses for this kind of behaviour where people are blatantly ignoring the restrictions in such large numbers.”
