Police at the scene of an incident on Athlone Grove.

A police photographer was also seen entering a block of new-build apartments in Athlone Grove this afternoon.

West Yorkshire Police were first called to the address at 9.24am this morning.

Neighbours have told the Yorkshire Evening Post of their shock as the crime scene unfolded on the street.

The owner of nearby Bassan off-licence, who did not want to be named, said: "It is very scary. I have never seen anything like this in more than thirty years of being here."

Street in Armley cordoned off after woman found seriously injured

Kiran, who did not want to give her last name, lives just behind the apartment block. "It is shocking that this has happened so close to us," she said.

"I woke up this morning, opened my curtains, and this is what I seen - they haven't told me anything."

The police cordon, which blocks either end of Athlone Grove, remains in place and West Yorkshire Police say enquiries are ongoing.
