Officer injuries during the 2022 Notting Hill Carnival

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.026294

I note you seek access to the following information:

74 Metropolitan Police officers were injured across the two days of the Notting Hill Carnival, you report.

Could I see a breakdown of the different types of injuries recorded, as specifically as possible?

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

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. The nature of these injuries is outlined in the table below. The table also includes injuries sustained at the carnival on Monday 29 August 2022.

Please see the attached a spreadsheet, pursuant to your request for information.
