Two men arrested after disturbance in Bowthorpe

Two men were arrested on Thursday evening following a protest on Barnard Road, Bowthorpe.

The males in their 20's were arrested on suspicion of a Section 5 Public Order offence (using threatening or abusive words or behaviour which cause someone to feel harassed, alarmed or distressed).

Chief Inspector Nick Paling said: “The public will be aware of previous policing operations in response to protests in Norwich over the past few weeks.

“The majority of people attend in a peaceful manner and I would like to thank them for doing so.

“Officers have worked hard to allow people to voice their views in a safe and lawful manner and this will continue.”
