Video shows police break up large Lenton party as dozens stream out of house

This is the moment police on patrol broke up a large house party in the early hours of the morning that was keeping residents awake and in tears.

Party-goers gathered at a 21st birthday of a student in Harrington Drive, Lenton, that the organiser of the bash later said "got out of hand".

Large crowds were also spotted chanting in the street afterwards at around 3am on Thursday June 24.

Footage taken by a member of the Lenton Drives and Neighbours Residents' Association shows the crowd singing before angry residents can be heard telling them to "shut up" and that "people are in bed".

An eyewitness said the party was around 100-strong and that residents have had enough.

Video footage taken from the scene shows police entering a house and telling attendees to leave before floods of people left in a hurry following the antics.

A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman added: "Officers on proactive patrol attended and dispersed a large party in Harrington Drive at around 2.30am this morning.

"By 3am the music had been turned off and everyone dispersed."

No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

In the party's aftermath, a man who said he was the event's organiser told Nottinghamshire Live that he just wanted to celebrate his 21st birthday with his friends, but everything "went out of hand".

People were left in tears and endured a sleepless night after the large street party took place during the early hours.

And both NTU and University of Nottingham have said they are aware of the incident and were investigating as "a matter of urgency".
