Leeds latest news as Harehills clean-up begins after night of trouble

I first drove in to Harehills at about midnight, the cordon had been lifted on Harehills Lane but hundreds of people were still around.

Two fires were still burning at the time – one a double decker bus and a bonfire of rubbish in the street.

The road was littered with bricks and broken glass on the floor, but the overall mood seemed calm.

Community leaders and others were using buckets and bins full of water to put out the fires.

Several people at the scene overnight told me it was sparked by local children being taken into custody by the local authority.

As dawn broke on Friday and the clean-up continues, with little remaining of the burnt-out bus.

Questions will now need to be answered about how the situation escalated.
