A woman arrested in Carlton allegedly assaulted a police officer while in custody
The 39-year-old was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in Valley Road at around 1.30am this morning (December 19).
She was then arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker after it is alleged she attempted to bite an officer on both arms and kick the officer’s shins while in custody.
Superintendent Kevin Broadhead, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We take officer assaults very seriously and will always thoroughly investigate any incidents where our officers or staff have been injured.
“Police work incredibly hard to protect the public and acknowledge that there is a risk when delivering that service.
“That being said, assaulting an officer while they are trying to do their job is totally unacceptable.
“The officer involved in last night’s incident will be supported throughout the investigations into these incidents.”
