A woman is due in court after police officers were assaulted after intervening in a street fight.
Officers responding to calls of a fight in Clumber Street, in Nottingham city centre, were left bruised and in discomfort after being kicked and pushed.
Response cops were quickly on scene shortly before 3.30am on Friday (17 June). Four people were arrested and a number of officers were assaulted while dealing with the incident.
Jadakiss Ancel-Samms, aged 19, of Lobelia Close, St Ann’s, has been charged with three counts of assault by beating of an emergency worker. She was released on unconditional bail and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 7 July 2022.
A further woman, aged 19, was arrested on suspicion of affray and two counts of assault on a constable by beating. She has since been released on conditional bail.
An 18-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of common assault of an emergency worker. She was given a conditional caution.
A 21-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of affray. He was subsequently released on conditional bail.
Enquiries are ongoing into the incident.
Sergeant Sue Farren, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We have recently shone a light on the work of response officers and their vital role in keeping Nottinghamshire safe and this is a perfect example of some of the challenges they face every day while carrying out their job.
“We’ve said time and time again that violence aimed at our officers will never be tolerated and we will take appropriate action against anyone involved in this kind of disorder.
“Thankfully none of the officers were seriously injured and just received bruises and discomfort.
“We are there to help those in need and no police officer should ever have to tolerate being assaulted for doing their job.
“Our enquiries into this incident are still ongoing and I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any mobile phone footage to get in touch with us or speak to a patrolling officer.”
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any CCTV or mobile phone footage is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 59 of 17 June 2022, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
