Teenagers arrested after violence on Woodhouse Moor
Its after reports of a fight involving weapons last night
Two 17 year old boys have been arrested after police were called to a fight involving weapons on Woodhouse Moor in Leeds last night.
Police received reports of men seen with machetes in the park at around 8:15pm.
Several people are thought to have been involved in a fight, with some suffering injuries.
Firearms officers were deployed and searched the area, with support from the police helicopter but no suspects were found.
Around 200 people who'd gathered in the park were told to leave.
Two 17 year olds later turned up in hospital with serious injuries and have been arrested on suspicion of affray.
Detective Inspector Michael Herbert, of West Yorkshire Police, said: “We are currently working to establish the full circumstances of this incident and to identify those involved."
“While our enquiries are at an early stage, we believe this violence to have been targeted and involving individuals who are known to each other."
“We are already speaking to a number of witnesses but would still like to hear from anyone who witnessed any part of what occurred or who has any information that could assist the investigation."
“We will always treat violent incidents such as this very seriously and do everything we can to bring those responsible to justice.
