Residents living on a Leeds estate have been left in fear after two violent incidents within streets of each other in less than a week.
West Yorkshire Police cordoned off the bottom of The Rein where it meets Kentmere Approach in Seacroft this afternoon (Saturday, August 27) after a street fight broke out and a male was hospitalised with serious injuries. Just three days before, a man in his twenties was critically injured after being stabbed on Boggart Hill Drive, which is at the other end of The Rein.
Increased stop and search powers were put in place after the first stabbing and police presence in the area was increased after the first stabbing. However, some residents felt hopeless about the violence being stopped.
