The 28-year-old woman spat on an officer before being detained and placed in the back of a police car where she allegedly broke the vehicle's windows by kicking it with force.
She was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm, assault on an emergency worker, public order and criminal damage and remains in police custody for questioning.
Police Constable Shaun Healy, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Our officers put themselves in harm’s way every day to keep the public safe from harm and should simply not have to face this kind of violence and abuse as they go about their duties.

“This kind of abuse is entirely unacceptable and will always be treated with the utmost seriousness by Nottinghamshire Police.”
