Police Officer Assaulted Following Arrest in Scarborough

A Scarborough Police Officer was assaulted by a man in Scarborough yesterday

The incident started in Westborough when the 57 year old male from Middlesbrough was encountered laid on the ground. An ambulance was called to assist.

Officers tried to rouse the male who then became very abusive and was swearing in the street, both at the officers who tried to assist him, and the public walking by.

He then tried to urinate in a public area and was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and begging in a public place.

During his arrest, he headbutted one of the officers. He was further arrested for this.

He has been charged to Scarborough Magistrates Court. The ambulance was cancelled to allow the team to be redeployed.

North Yorkshire Police's Community Impact Team say they are working closely with partners to cut down on the anti-social behaviour in the town centre. They say that patrols have increased through the summer and other agencies are involved on ensuring that those who require help, whether medical or psychological, are receiving this in a timely manner to help prevent offending and self-neglect.
