POLICE officers were attacked with fire extinguishers as they tried to break up an illegal rave at a disused factory on the edge of Warboys.
Nine people were arrested and another was taken to hospital and later released after an eight-hour illegal rave took place overnight on Saturday and Sunday.
Police from Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Suffolk were called to break up the rave, which had attracted about 300 people but, when they arrived at about 12.30am on Sunday, fire extinguishers were sprayed and thrown at the officers.
Several men from Hertfordshire and Hampshire, aged between 21 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of affray.
