A man is in hospital with serious injuries after he crashed his motorcycle while attempting to flee from a gang of five in Lowtown last night.
The victim, 29, was ambushed at an Esso Petrol station around 9.16pm by a group of five men, forcing him to flee. However, as the victim tried to turn into Intake Road he lost control and collided with a wall.
West Yorkshire Police say they initially attended to the scene under the impression it was a road traffic accident, but quickly established that there had been an attempted robbery. The collision with the wall, which happened at the junction of Swinnow Road and Intake Road in the Pudsey area, left the rider with serious injuries.
