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”. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Dave Dowden, a legend, a Totty Twin, a pie man!
