Shoppers and residents have aired their concerns and say they feel unsafe in Nottingham city centre after a major police cordon was set up. The cordon was in place in Broad Street, at its junction with High Cross Street and Old Lenton Street to just past Broadway Cinema, early on Friday (June 24) morning.
Police were called to reports of a flight in the street at around 11.45pm on Thursday (June 23). The incident was said to have involved a number of people and a man in his 50s was taken to hospital after reportedly being punched to the ground.
His injuries aren't believed to be life-threatening or altering and a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and affray. It comes after other, separate incidents of assaults, and the City Centre and Trent Bridge neighbourhood has been found to have the most cases of anti-social behaviour in Nottinghamshire for 2021/22, with 1,438 incidents, the 22nd highest of nearly 7,000 neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These incidents and the latest cordon have left some in Nottingham feeling unsafe.
