New Year, same binge Britain
disorderly and dishevelled as they stumbled out of bars and clubs.
There was carnage in Britain’s major cities – including London, Newcastle, Liverpool and Birmingham – as revellers came out in force, despite the grim weather in some areas.
It was a busy night for the emergency services, with some reporting a huge spike in the number of calls they received.

The Metropolitan Police said that officers had made 96 arrests across the capital by 3.45am relating to the New Year’s Eve celebrations, mainly for being drunk, public order offences and assault.
Calls to West Midlands Ambulance Service peaked between 1am and 4am, with a total of 1,291 calls between midnight and 5am, a 9 per cent increase on the same period last year.

A spokeswoman said a large proportion of this year’s calls were for alcohol-related incidents including fights, assaults, falls and overdoses.
One incident in Stourbridge, West Mids, saw four people rescued from a river after three friends tried to help a drunken teenage girl from the water after she fell down a bank just after 8pm.
