Two men have appeared in court following a disturbance in a residential street.
Police officers were called to Minerva Grove, Hucknall, at 3.50pm on Tuesday 28 April 2026 after an argument broke out between two men.
A member of the public reported seeing a weapon and so armed officers were dispatched to the scene.
No injuries were reported and two men were arrested at the scene.
Jahvace Spencer, aged 23, of Yewdale Close, Clifton, has been charged with affray, possession of a knife blade / sharp pointed article in a public place and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
