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.

    Well you the British people keep voting for this , just over 4 million of us had the balls to vote for an end to this . Look at the figures for legal immigration alone during 2023 1,220,000 people predominantly from the third world emigrated to the UK year ending 2023 . Look around , open your eyes it’s plain to see , this is the shape of things to come . This area has a Muslim majority of 40% what do you think it will be like when it’s 60, 70 . 80% ,not just here but across the country.

    Proof that cultural enrichment is a good thing. We need to get more to this country!
  • @robharding5345
    This trouble started at tea time, and no major media highlighted it, it came from a Youtube reporter, what's up, are they told not report on any muslim dominated area in case they get upset. How have we let this great country of ours become a third world country,
  • I HAVE A FEELING THAT 5 YEARS OF THE LABOUR PARTY IS GOING TO BRING LOTS OF THIS....
