Eyewitness footage shot on Thursday (July 18) showed a massive riot in the northern English city of Leeds, where an angry mob set ablaze a double decker bus, smashed windows and overturned a police car.
The chaos broke out in Harehills, about 1.6km (1 mile) northeast of the Leeds city centre. In one clip, heavy police presence could be seen but officers appeared to be outnumbered by a large crowd of protesters. Another clip showed people throwing various objects at a police car, including what appeared to be a scooter.
“We would strongly discourage residents from speculating on the cause of this disorder which we believe has been instigated by a criminal minority intent on disrupting community relations,” an update posted on Friday (July 19) by the West Yorkshire Police department read.
Reuters was able to independently verify the location with the road layout, business signs and outline of the buildings matched the street view imagery of the area. Reuters was able to independently verify the date with the original file metadata.
