Amputee arrested over bus attack
An 18-year-old woman has been allegedly assaulted by a disabled man at a Nottingham bus station.

It is alleged a man in his early 30s stepped off a bus at Bulwell on Thursday afternoon, became irate and threw toilet cleaner at the woman.

She was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre by ambulance with minor injuries and later discharged.

Police tried to restrain the man, but were unable to handcuff him because he was an amputee - with one arm.

It is understood the incident was recorded on CCTV.

The man was eventually arrested, and later released without charge, pending further enquiries.
