On Tuesday (April 9), the ambulance service was called after a man approached a member of the public in the street and showed them apparent stab wounds to his torso and head, which appeared to be serious.

However, the man left the scene before the ambulance arrived.

Police have previously said that it is believed the victim was injured during an altercation on St Paul’s Street.

A 45-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent in relation to the incident, has been released on bail.

The force is directly appealing to Sharp and those he may be with, so that they can check he is safe and well.

Those who believe they may have seen him or know of his current whereabouts have been asked to contact Leeds District CID by calling 101 and quoting reference 13240195980, or reporting via the West Yorkshire Police website.
