People in Dereham insist the town is safe and that assaults are rare after an incident in which a woman was punched in the face.
Officers were called to the town's Market Place at around 10.30pm on Sunday May 2, to reports a man in a parked black Audi car had punched a female passenger in the same car. The car then left the Market Place.
A man in his 30s, and from the Dereham area, was later arrested nearby on suspicion of assault and taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
