One Facebook user commented saying: " It’s more than disgusting it’s dangerous. Contact environmental health dept," while another said: "It's appalling not surprised in the world we live in with everything going on in the world."

Several members urged the poster to contact Leeds City Council, who have been informed.

Leeds City Council said: “The council’s priority is the rapid removal of needles and drug related waste items from areas that are open to the public. Unless it poses an immediate danger to you or other residents, do not pick up these items”

Residents can report any sightings of discarded needles to the council online here.
