Chelsea Webster, 26, of Peel Gardens, has been charged with common assault of an emergency worker.

She has been released on bail and is due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on October 19.

Inspector Keiron Hancock, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Thankfully the officer wasn’t seriously injured but it is completely unacceptable to assault a person who is simply going out to do their job and do their best to serve the community.”
