Increased stop and search powers are to be kept in place in Harehills for another day in a bid to tackle increased knife crime.
An order covering the area was put in place yesterday (Wednesday, August 24) to prevent serious violence and keep communities safe following a horrifying incident involving men armed with machetes in Edgeware Avenue on Tuesday night.
A witness reported hearing a loud bang. Armed officers were sent to the scene and confirmed the noise was from a window being broken by a brick. The males ran off towards Bayswater Road and Harehills Road. Officers searched the area but no suspects were found and no-one had suffered any injuries.
