Any police officers?

I'm a bit unnerved
Police have been at an address nearby for several hours. Cid knocked asking if we saw or heard anything in the night and stated there was a serious incident. Scenes of crime have arrived. The person at the address is alive.
What kind of incident may this indicate?
The officer indicated someone was in custody so why the door to door enquiries?
Thanks

Quite some time ago there was an incident outside my house. The police parked a car at the bottom of my driveway late one night.
My partner saw it and thought they were coming here. We all looked out and saw a neighbour being dragged up the street by two policemen. He was protesting that they were hurting him. They told him they were arresting him because he had been violent to his partner.

I did not know them but I had seen her coming in and out of her house and she was tiny. She also had a new baby.

The police left and I was concerned about her so I went to the house and knocked on the door. She was crying but by now there were other people there.
I told her nobody deserves to be hit by anyone and if it ever happened again or she was made to feel afraid in any way that she should come to me. She thanked me.
Later on the man who lives next door to them told me he hears the guy shouting and hitting her all the time so when she called the police it was a last resort.
I wish I had known. I can't stand this sort of thing. I would have approached her sooner. It's not always about being nosy, and even if it is, better to act on something nasty like that before the bastard really hurt her or worse

I do actually have a rather weird experience of this.

Was woken up at around 6am a few years ago by cops asking questions about a neighbour's movements - did I hear them, had I seen anything odd etc.

I live in a street of tenements and this person lived a few closes down so no, I had never seen or heard anything. Quick five minutes, then goodbye.

A few months later, I saw something in the local rag about somebody having been arrested on suspicion of terrorism charges in my area, so can only assume that it may have been related to that.

My first thought was drugs- is someone missing from said property? But it probably would of involved a raid and you would be well aware if that had happened.

Burglary? Sexual assault?

[quote catherineofarrogance80]@Jjacobb I would never gawp or post pictures or spread gossip. Just hoping someone could give some examples of things that are maybe not terrible for a person as I'm just concerned [/quote]
What it boils down too is you are a nosy neighbour with your fake concern for your neighbours welfare!

@SakuraEdenSwan1 luckily you know nothing about me as you are so far off the mark
