A man has been charged with four offences following an incident in Ilkeston.

Police Officers were called to reports of an altercation between two men in Wilton Place, Ilkeston, on Friday 15th August and were at the scene within six minutes of receiving the call at around 11:30am.  A later statement from Derbyshire Police said that the two men were "known to each other.,"
