Police were called to an ‘out of control’ street party complete with a DJ and a barbecue after some revelers broke the rules of social estrangement.
Video from the Nottingham event shows police cars parked on the scene, and partygoers mingle around the speakers on the sidewalk.
A man at the party can be seen chatting with masked officers before taking the microphone and urging anyone other than local to leave the area.
Police issued two fines to people who refused to follow social distancing rules at Friday’s event, Nottinghamshire Live reports.
In the video, you can hear a man saying, “If you’re not extreme … f ** k off.
“Whoever is born and raised on the extremes, stay here, this is our home there. If you don’t live here, just move there. Assemble your troops and just go, I beg you.”
