He remains in custody.

Sergeant Christopher Johnson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a completely unacceptable attack that resulted in a man being deliberately thrown from his wheelchair and onto the street.

“It really should go without saying but there is simply no excuse for anyone to ever behave in this manner.

“This is an ongoing investigation, so we’d ask anyone who saw what happened or has any information that could assist our inquiries to get in touch with us straight away.”

Information can be left either by calling the police on 101, quoting incident 154 of 26 April 2023, or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
