NEARLY 80 people were arrested and three police officers needed hospital treatment during a huge climate change protest at a power station.
More than 1,000 demonstrators converged on the giant coal-powered Ratcliffe-on-Soar site, in Nottinghamshire, on Saturday, with clashes breaking out between police and protesters as they tried to tear up perimeter fencing.
One policeman was airlifted to hospital with head injuries but later released, and two other officers needed hospital treatment for minor injuries, Nottinghamshire Police said.
