Footage has been released of crowds gathering in Nottingham city centre on Thursday just after 10pm, ahead of the city going into tier three restrictions.
The city moved into the top tier of Covid-19 restrictions at midnight after an overall rise in infection rates.
Nottinghamshire Police said an 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and he remains in custody.
The force also issued dispersal orders after originally being called to St James’ Street following reports of people congregating after leaving bars as they closed.
