Leeds boys, 11 and 12, scared to go out after being 'threatened with a knife' on doorstep

Two Leeds boys have been left shaken and scared to go out after they were threatened by another young person with a knife just seconds from their front door.

12-year-old Billy Metcalf and 11-year-old Alfie Harrison spent their Sunday afternoon playing football on the field either side of South Hill Rise in Belle Isle - in view of Alfie's house. When they got tired, the boys went to sit down on a nearby gate at the edge of the field.

Sat there, they were approached by a group of kids aged 10 to 12. Billy described how one of the members of the group pulled out a knife as one of the others told the boys: "Don't think she isn't scared to use it".
