A night of chaos erupted in Leeds as rioting led to a double-decker bus being set on fire, a police car overturned, and rocks hurled through the streets.
The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, condemned the incident and said there were no injuries reported in the unrest, which police believe was “instigated by a criminal minority intent on disrupting community relations.”
The violence, which also saw rocks thrown at police, unfolded late Thursday and continued into the early hours of Friday.
Sky News reports that police have maintained a heavy presence in the area, working to restore order and ensure the safety of local residents.
