A planned signing by pop band Busted in Leeds today has been thrown into doubt after a knife attack in the store due to host the event.

An off-duty officer was slashed with a knife when he confronted a suspected shoplifter at HMV in Victoria Walk this morning.

The store was busy with shoppers seeking Black Friday sales bargains and Busted fans turning up to collect their wristbands for the event.

Only those who bought the band’s new Night Driver album in person at the store could qualify for wristbands.

The album, the third by the band, was released today.

An HMV spokesman said they were looking at whether the signing would still go ahead and would make an announcement later.
