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.

Kylie Blackner, of Ashland Road, Sutton, has since been charged with common assault of an emergency worker, in connection with the incident.
The 34-year-old has been bailed to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court in September.
Sergeant Antony Coleman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Police officers dedicate their time to protecting and helping our communities and it is deeply troubling when an officer is hurt in the line of duty.
