Cumbria Police will have an increased high-visibility presence in Carlisle this weekend as the city prepares to welcome thousands of people to the annual Fireshow, making it a busy and exciting time for Carlisle.

Carlisle Neighbourhood Policing Team, PCSOs and partner agencies will be out in greater numbers across the city centre and the surrounding event location, providing reassurance, engaging with communities and helping ensure everyone can enjoy the event safely.

Ahead of the Carlisle Fireshow, a dispersal order has been authorised for Carlisle city centre from 2pm until 11.59pm on Saturday 31 October.

The order gives officers additional powers to direct individuals involved in anti-social behaviour to leave the area and not return. Anyone who fails to comply with a dispersal order may be liable to arrest.

Inspector Andy Leather from Carlisle Neighbourhood Policing Team said:

"We're looking forward to supporting what is set to be an enjoyable and busy weekend in Carlisle.

"There will be an enhanced policing presence throughout the day and evening, with officers and PCSOs patrolling key areas, engaging with the public and providing reassurance.

"We know that the overwhelming majority of those attending will do so responsibly and help create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

"We want everyone attending to have a safe and positive experience, and our officers will be on hand throughout the weekend to offer support and assistance."

Anyone witnessing crime or anti-social behaviour is encouraged to report it to police.

If a crime is in progress always call 999.

Police were called at 6.05pm on Monday (26 October 2026) to reports of a suspected assault near Chances Park on Wigton Road, Carlisle.

It is reported that a man, aged in his 70s, has been kicked in the leg by an unknown suspect which resulted in him falling to the floor.

The suspect has then continued to kick the victim whilst he was on the floor. This resulted in the victim sustaining a broken leg.

Police were immediately deployed after the report was made and attended the hospital where the victim had been transferred by ambulance staff.

Officers subsequently attended the scene, where CCTV enquiries were carried out.

Officers remain in contact with the victim, who is aware of this update and continues to be supported by police.

The incident is believed to have occurred between 5pm and 5.45pm.

The suspect, who fled the scene at the time of the incident, is believed to be a black or brown male in his 30s, approximately 6ft tall and wearing dark grey clothing with his hood up.

Police are appealing for any witnesses that were in the area of Chances Park on Monday night that may have seen anything suspicious.

The investigation is currently ongoing into the circumstances and officers continue to carry out enquiries.

Officers are urging the public not to share speculation or unverified information online, and instead to provide any information that could assist the investigation directly to police.

Anyone with information can contact police online at https://orlo.uk/O8j3r or call 101, quoting incident number 195 of 26 October 2026.
