Corrie fans make same point about Weatherfield as Corey Brent is arrested after 'freak' attack on Nina

Coronation Street fans have made the same point about Weathefield as Corey Brent found himself on the wrong side of the law again.

The soap villain found himself being escorted away from the street in the back of a police car following a 'freak' attack on Nina Lucas.

Corey was furious after Nina gatecrashed his meeting with local celebrity, footballer Tommy Orpington, and his agent to discuss his footballing career.

While Nina's presence was accidental, the teen couldn't hold back revealing the truth about Corey as Tommy went on about him being the next big thing.

Close to attacking him with his own football trophy, Nina was stopped in her tracks by Abi Franklin.

After talking some sense into her back at the cafe, Nina was confused as someone loudly banged on the door of Roy's Rolls.

Believing it was Abi, Nina answered the door only for Corey to be on the other side.

She closed the door but Corey continued to shout at Nina and annoyed by his comments, the pair ended up on the street.

"You can take your piercings out and your makeup, but you're still a freak," Corey fumed. "A sl*tty little gothic freak."

As he demanded his award back, Nina smashed it to the floor only triggering Corey's anger further.

But before he could lash out, Roy came to his niece's rescue.

Continuing to think he could get away with his intimidation, Roy informed him he was breaching his bail conditions and as if by magic, a police car appeared.

PC Craig Tinker emerged from the car and arrested Corey, much to Nina and Roy's satisfaction.

But despite the drama, Corrie viewers had another thing on their mind.

"How many police officers does it take to arrest Corey Brent #coronationstreet Just the 1 & only PC in Weatherfield PC Craigy #corrie," tweeted one.

Another said: "#Corrie Craig, the only PC in the whole of Weatherfield!!!"

"Is every person nicked in #Corrie going to be nicked by Craig every time?" a third asked.

A fourth noted: "Love that Craig Tinker is the only copper ever on shift in Weatherfield #corrie."

"Well done Roy but why is it just Craig always at any scene of a crime lol #Corrie @itvcorrie," another said.

But judging by the smirk on Corey's face as he was arrested, we're sure that isn't the last we'll see of him.
