Bramley murder probe: Moment Leeds teen jumped off bus to try to save stabbing victim's life

Tonight West Yorkshire Police confirmed a murder investigation has been launched after a man aged in his 40s was stabbed in Bramley and died at the scene.

Olivia Byrne, 18, saw the man bleeding on the floor in Broadlea Terrace and rushed to try to save him.

"I just saw him on the floor so I got off the bus to help. The ambulance wasn't there yet.

"I was helping with his airway and another man who is ex-military was doing CPR. Someone else was applying pressure.

"He was also bleeding from his head."

Olivia said she knew the man who stabbed the victim, and knew the victim by sight.

"It was just like a movie, it was horrible," she added.

The emergency services then arrived and took over.

Police forensics teams remain in the scene and a police tent has been put up.

The air ambulance landed in the street at the scene and took off at 5pm.

Olivia said the man was in his 40s and had a wife and children.
