A 30-year-old man has been arrested in Bedfordshire as part of the investigation into the shooting of a police officer in Nottingham city centre.
He was arrested in the early hours of Monday 19th October on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Bull, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "The injured officer was carrying out his duty to protect the public and it is truly abhorrent that this has happened to him. We continue to support him as he undergoes further treatment in hospital and are keeping him and his family fully informed of developments in the investigation."
