2022
Some officers who were assaulted may not have had lasting injuries and therefore would not be included in the data table attached. Some Officers will have been pushed or had other force used against them but had no injury. There were also some double counts within the initial data, this accounts for the difference in figures stated in the MPS news item.

Having reviewed the carnival information, it is recorded that although 74 officers were injured and assaulted during the Notting Hill Policing Operation, some of these assaults did not result in injury.

Injuries to 60 officers are recorded on the corporate injury recording system as being sustained during the policing of Notting Hill Carnival.
