We first reported on the fact that all Reykjavík criminal holding cells are now full just over a week ago. The situation has one again arisen, as a three assaults were reported in the capital area last night. The victims all had injuries to the head, such as a broken nose. The incidents were all unrelated, and just one victim was taken to A&E.

After last night’s incidents, police holding cells in the region are now full once more. Nearly all of the incidents reported last night were in relation with drink driving. Eight drivers were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs last night, three of which had their driving licences confiscated temporarily. Another three of the party were involved in traffic accidents.
