Leeds: Harehills residents condemn ‘out of control’ disorder

On Luxor Street, there was no sign of the trouble which triggered the unrest.

Mother-of-three Mehwish Ahmed, who lives on the road, told the BBC her family became aware of disorder when they heard a commotion outside.

Her youngest son, aged seven, had been “terrified”.

West Yorkshire Police said they were called to the street amid a disturbance at a domestic property “which involved some agency workers and some children”.

Once they arrived, Ms Ahmed said the situation quickly got “out of control”.

“I think there were about 50 police officers on this street trying to get everybody out [of the house].”

The crowd followed a police van onto Harehills Lane, where the disorder began to spread, she added.

“I don’t think a lot of people knew what was going on either, but obviously joined in.

“I have got three kids as well, it was a bit distressing for them.”
