Reports of stabbing and fighting in Leeds as armed police and helicopter respond and disperse party goers

The huge response happened after West Yorkshire Police received reports of a stabbing and several people fighting with bladed weapons on Rookwood View in Osmondthorpe shortly before 9pm last night (Friday).

A spokesperson for the force said: “Upon attending the scene, it was established that a party involving about 70 people was taking place at a nearby address.

“The party was dispersed and it was established that nobody present had suffered any injuries.”

UPDATE: Police have since issued an update this afternoon, saying: “Further enquiries are taking place after a 16-year-old boy later presented himself at Leeds General Infirmary with injuries to his hand.

“Two males have been arrested on suspicion of affray.”
