Four teenagers have been arrested after a disturbance at a Nottingham city centre shop.
Officers attended the Xpression Too shop, in Lincoln Street, around 4.30pm yesterday (13 February) following reports a member of staff at the store had been assaulted.
The disorder continued outside the shop when it was reported further people had become involved and one was carrying a knife.
Officers gained descriptions of the offenders when they arrived at the scene and one suspect was detained on a bus in Shakespeare Street.
A further three suspects were located nearby and arrested.
A 14-year-old girl and three boys, aged 12, 13 and 15, were arrested on suspicion of affray. The 15-year-old was further arrested on suspicion of assault and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
