Police car turned over and vehicles set alight in disorder in Leeds

People told to stay at home due to unrest in Harehills area of West
Yorkshire city

A police car was flipped on its side and a bus set alight after unrest
broke out in Leeds <https://www.theguardian.com/uk/leeds> on Thursday
evening and residents were advised to stay at home.

Footage appeared to show people throwing objects at the police vehicle
before it was pushed over in Harehills, east of the city centre. The home
secretary, Yvette Cooper, condemned the “shocking scenes and attacks”,
saying “disorder of this nature has no place in our society”.

A local restaurant owner said the chaos was linked to the sale of Archie
Gray to Tottenham Hotspur, which has caused widespread outrage, adding that
some people in the community responded by setting fires and “throwing
stones”.
