Violence erupted in Leeds on Thursday evening with rioters setting a double-decker bus on fire and overturning a police car.

Hundreds of locals clashed with officers and pelted police vans with rocks and bricks.

The mass riot is believed to have broken out after social services took away four children from a family in the inner city area of Harehills at around 5pm on Thursday.

Footage shared on social media showed the crowd smashing a police car’s windows with a pram, rocks and bicycles before flipping the vehicle onto its side.

  6. Vielfalt ist unsere Stärke. Die deutschen Migranten haben es ja schon angekündigt.:)
    Würde gerne wissen, wie sehr sie sich freuen, wenn die MG42 wieder ausgepackt wird.

  7. Just imagine if a group of British people living in Romania, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the Punjab, Iran, Afghanistan, Palestine, Bangladesh, Qatar, Kazakhstan – overturned a police car, set light to a bus, attacked police, set cars alight because they didn't think they need to follow the laws of those countries ?
