Appeal for witnesses to assault in Derby street


We are appealing for the public’s help after reports of a woman being assaulted in a Derby street. 

The incident took place on the morning of Friday 22 March in the Booth Street area of Alvaston. 

The victim, a woman in her mid-30s, reported speaking to a number of people while in a distressed state. 

Officers are also keen to hear from anyone who was in the area and saw a red Vauxhall Astra on the same morning. 

A 42-year-old man was arrested and subsequently charged with dangerous driving, threats to kill, assault by beating and engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour.
