Fed-up Leeds residents living in 24-hour crackdown zone speak out

A Leeds suburb was put under a 24-hour crackdown by police after a boy was stabbed in the leg in Little London.

West Yorkshire Police targeted the wider area of Woodhouse, with increased powers to stop and search for offensive weapons. The crackdown lasted for 24 hours, from 2pm yesterday (April 7), after a boy, 16, was reportedly chased through Little London by a group armed with knives.

The boy was stabbed in the leg and rushed to hospital for his injuries, which were not considered to be life threatening. A pair of teens, aged 16 and 18, were arrested in connection with the attack.
