Leeds street drinker 'stabbed twice' in Harehills slams 'unfair' street drinking ban

A Leeds grandad who likes to drink in public and has been "stabbed twice" in Harehills says it's unfair that street-drinkers are being treated like criminals.

Grandfather-of-two Mark, 53, who didn’t want his last name published, has dubbed the area 'Scarehills Lane' due to crime and anti-social behaviour which led to the restrictions.

Street drinkers in the area can now be handed six months jail time if they're found breaching the order and a hefty fine.
