Police are trying to trace three potential witnesses, who stepped in to help a man who was assaulted outside Headingley Stadium earlier this month.
It happened on Kirkstall Lane at 2:46am on March 9, with a man in his 20s being attacked by another man who was standing at a bus stop.
The suspect had a knife and punched and kicked the victim, before walking off towards Cardigan Road.
A man and two women intervened in the incident, with police now calling on them to come forward.
The first witness is described as a white woman with blonde hair wearing a black blazer and wide leg light blue jeans.
The second woman also appears to have been white , with light coloured hair, wearing a black cropped vest and wide leg dark grey jeans.
The third, a white man, was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a black suit jacket.
Sergeant Simon Green, of West Yorkshire Police, said:
“We believe this to be an unprovoked attack and would like to speak to anyone who saw or has footage of what happened, particularly the three people that came to the victim’s aid.
“Officers are carrying out high visibility patrols in the area as we continue to investigate.”
