Police have released images of four youths they want to identify after a chemical substance was sprayed in a tram driver’s face.
The victim was driving the tram back into the depot at around 8 pm on 5 February 2026 and had announced to passengers over the tannoy that they had reached the last stop at Shipstone Street, Hyson Green.
After the tram had terminated, the driver exited his cabin when he was sprayed in the face with a bottle of suspected corrosive cleaning fluid.
Some of the liquid went into his eye, leading to soreness and discomfort.
Officers have been reviewing CCTV footage and carrying out other lines of enquiry following the incident.
They believe the individuals pictured in the images may be able to assist with their investigation.
