Leeds: Arrests made after 'night of chaos' in Harehills

West Yorkshire Police Federation chairman Craig Nicholls said the resilience of officers in the face of a "night of chaos" was "nothing short of remarkable".

"In the face of aggression and disorder, their quick-thinking and bravery were critical in bringing the situation to a safe conclusion," he said.

"Their actions prevented further escalation and safeguarded the lives of many in the community."

He added: "These officers acted with professionalism and courage, exemplifying the very best of what it means to serve and protect."

Leeds City Council said it was "immensely grateful" to the individuals who stopped the situation from "worsening".

A spokesperson said: "Incidents like this do not reflect Leeds or the Harehills community as a whole.

"Our communities, including the one in Harehills, play a vital role in ensuring collectively we keep our neighbourhoods safe and feeling safe."
