The woman was subsequently arrested on suspicion of multiple offences, one including assaulting an emergency worker.

A spokesperson for Dorset Specials said: “S/Insp Jordan & SC James attended reports of an intoxicated female causing issues in town.

“She was arrested on suspicion of being drunk & disorderly, assaulting an emergency worker, public order and criminal damage.

“She will remain in custody, pending interview.”
