Massive riots break out in UK’s Leeds, bus torched and police car overturned
A police car was flipped on its side and a bus set alight after unrest broke out in 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”.
Social media footage showed large crowds of people on the streets, with some appearing to attack a police car with a scooter before it was flipped over.
