The officer was hurt after police were called to reports of a disturbance at a house on Ashland Road, Sutton, on Friday, July 15, at about 12.30am.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers asked a woman to calm down, but she continued to shout and be abusive and so was arrested to prevent a breach of peace.
