“Police Had Absolutely No Control!” Bus Set Ablaze And Cop Car Overturned As Riots Break Out

Vehicles were set on fire and a police car was overturned as residents were warned to stay home following an outbreak of disorder in a Leeds suburb. The Home Secretary condemned the “shocking scenes and attacks” in Harehills, east Leeds, where there was a “large” police presence on Thursday evening, with helicopters deployed to the area. A local restaurant owner said the chaos was linked to local children being taken into care, adding that some people in the community responded by setting fires and “throwing stones”. Talk’s Dr David Bull discusses the story with reporter at Yappa App in Leeds Craig Ward, who witnessed the scenes. Click here for more from Talk If you need any help visit: #leeds #news
