A fire has broken out at the Skyline tower block in Leeds city centre.

A number of police and fire crews are at the scene, but West Yorkshire Fire Service tell us it's contained to a balcony, causing 10% damage.

Pictures from eyewitnesses show black smoke escaping from a flat balcony on one of the upper floors.

It happened near to Leeds Bus Station and the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
