Police are still investigating the full circumstances of the incident and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

"Our investigation is ongoing, including checking CCTV footage, and we are also urging anyone who was in the area around the time and saw what happened, to please get in touch with us.

"We’re also urging anyone who may have captured CCTV, mobile phone or dash cam footage of the incident to get in contact."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 666 of 21 July, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
