Man arrested and crowbar seized following reports of altercation in Forest Fields

The victim claimed they were threatened after an argument over parking

A man has been arrested after a member of the public was threatened with a weapon following an argument. On Wednesday, October 9, Nottinghamshire Police were called to Cedar Road, Forest Fields, shortly after 10pm.

A member of the public had reported a man had threatened him with a weapon after they had argued about parking. Officers seized a crowbar from a van.

A 48-year-old man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of affray. He was further arrested after allegedly failing to provide a sample of breath at the roadside after refusing to undergo a breathalyser test.

He has been released on bail with conditions while the investigation continues. Inspector Liz Gaskin, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Violent behaviour will not be tolerated in our neighbourhoods so I’m pleased we were able to quickly attend the incident and prevent further disorder.

“Officers who attended the scene worked efficiently to arrest a suspect and seize a crowbar. Thankfully no one was injured but know any incident involving weapons has the potential to escalate."

She added: "Our investigation is continuing and I’d ask anyone with any information to call 101, quoting incident number 779 of 9 October 2024.”
