Emergency worker assaulted in city centre disorder

North Yorkshire Police said four arrests were made for various offences

Four people have been arrested after an emergency worker was assaulted in a city centre brawl.

Officers were called to what they described as a "large altercation" in Low Ousegate, York, at 19:45 BST on Saturday.

North Yorkshire Police said the arrests were made for "various offences" including affray and assault of an emergency worker.

A police spokesperson said three of the four people had since been bailed with conditions which prevented them from entering York city centre.

Supt Ed Haywood-Noble said: "We are committed to tackling all types of unacceptable and criminal behaviour in our city centre at night.

"The vast majority of people are using the city's bars without issue or incident and those who are intent on committing crime in York are not welcome."

Anyone who witnessed the incident has been urged to contact police.
