Sergeant Matthew Nandakumar, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We take all reports of firearms offences extremely seriously.

“Whether it’s an air or pellet gun, or indeed the real thing, there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to ever aim a firearm at another person.

“These devices can look just like lethal firearms and can inspire the same level of fear, so because of this, offenders will always be met with the same response from our officers.

“It should also go without saying but assaulting police officers and other emergency workers is completely unacceptable and will never be tolerated.

“If anyone has any information that could assist us with our investigation, we’d ask that they contact police straight away by calling 101 and quoting incident 614 of 13 April 2022.”
