Not a bad tally over a 9 year period -
they get that on a single day a 'Carnival'.
Last years 'Carnival' - recognised as one of the more peaceful and law abiding in recent years:
Police made close to 170 arrests on the second day of the Notting Hill Carnival for offences including assault on police and possession of an offensive weapon.
As of 10.45pm last night 168 people were in custody.
These included seven people arrested on suspicion of assault on police, 61 arrested on suspicion of drug related offences and 11 arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon.
On the first day of the event, Sunday, police made 111 arrests.
