The 23-year-old went into a commercial premises on Meanwood Road around 3.30pm on July 19 to try and evade two men who had threatened him.

The suspects - one of whom held what may have been a handgun - followed him in and delivered a threat before leaving.

DS Dan Burton, of the Force’s Firearms Prevent Team, said: “We are continuing to investigate this incident and would like to speak to anyone who can identify these men who we wish to speak with.

“One of them was dressed in a red balaclava and very distinctive tracksuit so would have stood out."
