Bus attacked, vehicles burned during riots in Leeds

Eyewitness video captured the chaos that unfolded in Leeds, England on Thursday, July 18, as riots broke out following a suspected family-related incident.

Footage from Robin Singh shows the attack on a double-decker bus, the setting off of fireworks and burning vehicles in the Harehills area.

Local Labour councillor Salma Arif said LBC an “incident involving a family involving care services” led to “spontaneous unrest”.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said she was “appalled by the shocking scenes and attacks on police vehicles and public transport”.

Cleanup operations were reportedly underway on Friday. Image credit: Robin Singh via Storyful
