It was a wet and cold Tuesday evening. The Leeds suburb, known to its residents as a safe haven, was quiet - certainly nothing to suggest that specialist emergency service resources were to be deployed into the street.
There is an eerie silence in the air with the only activity being from the odd reveller in Morley Bottoms. Until West Yorkshire Police responded to reports that a man had been sprayed with an unknown substance nearby in Brunswick Street, shortly after 7.30pm on Tuesday (April 11).
Specialist emergency service resources were deployed to the scene and a huge cordon was put in place, closing the road for most on Tuesday evening. A man had been attacked with a substance, which was found to be a suspected CS gas spray, attending officers were also affected.
