We are very sorry to hear that there was a knife attack right in the heart of Headingley last night, and hope the person who was assaulted makes a full recovery.

West Yorkshire Police have appealed for any witnesses with information about the attack. If you can help them, please call the police on 101 quoting log 139 of Saturday 26 August.

This incident is not at all characteristic of what is normally a very friendly and vibrant community. We sincerely hope that it was an isolated attack and that there is no further danger to the public.
