Local residents have been warned to stay at home amid ongoing disorder in the Harehills area of Leeds.

There is a “large” police presence in the area – but no injuries have yet been reported, West Yorkshire Police said.

Livestream footage on social media appeared to show vehicles on fire, including a bus.

Videos have also been posted showing an overturned police car on the road with its blue lights flashing, sirens blaring, car alarms going off and crowds of people in the street – some of them shouting.

Officers were called to an incident at an address in Luxor Street at 5pm on Thursday where they found an “ongoing disturbance” involving agency workers and children.

More people started to attend the location and the agency workers and children were taken to a safe place.

A crowd started to gather and more officers were requested to attend the area where “pockets of disorder” were emerging.

Footage on social media appears to show an overturned police car on the road.

In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: “More officers have been deployed to the area to assist with the management of this incident.

  1. Why is msinstream media avoiding updating on leeds riots???
    They vebeen all over in reporting on Bangladesh/ kenya/ argentina protests hr by hr.

  2. It wouldn't be entirely Muslim if you hadn't let half of the Middle East into your country. Your diluting the original occupants of that country. Why shouldn't they be upset about what their government has done to them?

  3. Your police are are weak and impotent. They're not the police for the people who live in that great country. They bend over backward for those who take advantage, destroy, and defy the western way for their way.

  4. you are downright stupid. They are all Romanian gypsies and behave exactly as they do wherever they are. They have nothing to do with Muslims, they have no God

  5. I'm a Muslim and have been living here since 1968 and I'm appalled at this incident,whatever started this and who ever has broken the law must be brought to justice,we mustn't play politics with this ,it hurts me every time something like this happens the media is quick to blame islam not individuals,islam or any other religions don't teach this behaviour,I hope they'll be caught and punished according to their crimes.

  6. The area looks like a Ghetto. Why wasn't watercannon and drones sent in. These people know that the police will do nothing to stop them. If it was a white area there would have been arrests galore. The UK has gone down the drain.

  7. Majority those who is creating violence there is Romanian protesting against the Romanian child taken away by the Social Services/Police!

  8. Let the fox into the hen house, and this is what you get……4.5 million had the guts to vote Reform, those that didn't, just watch carefully what you voted for.

  9. There’s not many places in the world where you could safely leave your BMW parked in the street outside crappy Second World housing and surrounded by a somewhat angry mob of social losers, whilst being right next to a Police car being trashed.

  10. The authorities will "leave no stone unturned" the guy who said that might find himself under a stone. You leave these people alone. Your tyrannical government has no authority here.

  11. Most immigrants whose religion is Islam came from former colonies of great britain and now they are slowly invading the land of their colonizer……the western countries must realize that Muslims didn't contribute positively to the country where they lived in instead they create chaos, look at the Jewish they are quickly assimilated to the culture of their host country…this is a wake up call to the government…too much liberalism destroys blah blah….
