Trio charged with officer assaults after house party in Nottinghamshire
Three people are due in court after officers were alleged to have been assaulted at a house party in Nottinghamshire, Mapperley.
Seven police officers were injured after shutting down an illegal house party that was attended by around 40 people.
Police drone footage captured the moment the party goers ran away from the scene on Woodborough Road during the early hours of Wednesday 3 March.
Some of the officers who broke up the party were allegedly attacked and had bottles thrown at them.
Ten people were given fines of £800 for breaching coronavirus restrictions.
Most areas of Nottinghamshire are in the top 25% nationally for highest rates of infection- and health bosses say they're worried the numbers are not coming down at a fast enough rate compared to other areas.
The force says the disregard for the rules and the way that the officers were treated was "completely unacceptable".
The officers suffered minor injuries such as black eyes and bruising and an investigation is now underway to take action against those responsible.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Cooper says the police have provided an excellent service throughout the pandemic in order to keep people safe.
He says most people in the county have been complying with the rules and respected officers, but it's a shame that a handful of people have not.
