Live updates as Nottinghamshire Police tape off Bridgford Road after unprovoked attack - Nottinghamshire Live

Police statement

Police are appealing for witnesses following an unprovoked attack in West Bridgford.

The victim, in his 30s, was travelling home on a bus following a night out with friends when he heard a younger passenger’s phone drop on the floor.

When he asked ‘is that your phone?’, the younger person became aggressive and then followed the man off the bus, where he attacked him.

The serious assault, which happened in Bridgford Road at around 11.20pm last night, led to the victim requiring hospital treatment.

Following the incident, a 50-year-old woman was arrested this morning (31 December) on suspicion of assisting an offender. Inquiries to trace the attacker are ongoing.

Detective Sergeant Charlotte Henson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a serious and unprovoked assault on an entirely innocent man who was simply making his way home having enjoyed a night out with friends.

“Thankfully, his injuries are not life-threatening or life-altering, but he has been left traumatised and we are doing everything we can to find the person responsible.

“The investigation is in its early stages and we are making good progress with one person in custody on suspicion of assisting an offender.

“This incident happened along a busy road and I would ask anyone who saw the assault, or may have dash cam footage, to please come forward. We would also like to speak to anyone on the bus who witnessed the altercation that led up to the assault.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 702 of 30 December. Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

POV: Researchers often undercount how much visual misinformation is on Facebook

How much misinformation is on Facebook? Several studies have found that the amount of misinformation on Facebook is  low  or that the problem has  declined   over   time . This previous work, though, missed most of the story. We are a  communications researcher , a  media and public affairs researcher , and a  founder of a digital intelligence company . We conducted a study that shows that  massive amounts of misinformation have been overlooked  by other studies.
