Police have issued a warning to anyone who was involved in violence at recent protests in Nottingham – or anyone intending to indulge violent acts – that they can expect ‘a knock at the door’ from officers.

The warning comes after a suspect wanted in connection with violent disorder during a recent Nottingham protest received an early morning wake-up call from police officers.

Officers carried out a warrant in Broadwood Road in Bestwood at 7am this morning (Wednesday).

The warrant was executed in connection with a violent incident witnessed during pre-planned protests in the city centre on Saturday, August 3.

A 19-year-old Asian male was punched several times by a white male.

Other men then became involved in the altercation throwing punches and kicks at the teenage victim.

A number of men were arrested at the time.

Following extensive lines of inquiry, a warrant was executed at Broadwood Road.

A man wanted in connection with the incident was not at the address but found at his girlfriend’s property a short distance away.

A 35-year-old man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and taken into custody.

Nottinghamshire Assistant Chief Constable Rob Griffin said: “The public shared with us some footage that we have re-investigated and has led us to identify some suspects.

"We will continue with these investigations.

“The message couldn’t be clearer – there is absolutely no place for violent disorder on the streets of our city.

“We won’t stand for it. If you wish to cause disorder of any kind, then expect a knock at your door.

“As this warrant proves, we will arrest you and ensure justice is served.”
