Among the arrests, 17 were for assault, 17 for drunkenness and 16 for public order offences, police said. A spokesman for the ambulance service said 55 people were referred to hospitals from the 13 treatment centres around London. The remainder were treated and “sent on their way”. A lot of the problems were alcohol-related but also involved trips and falls and people being “under-dressed”, the ambulance spokesman added.
