Police are appealing for witnesses following a disorder incident in Saville Park, Chapeltown, Leeds.

Officers were called to Saville Park at about 8.18pm yesterday evening (Sunday June 5) to reports of males and females fighting and, on attending, found a person who had been seriously assaulted on Back Saville Road.

The victim, a 30-year-old man, was taken to hospital for treatment to head injuries which are not life threatening.

Following enquiries officers arrested three male youths, a man and a woman on suspicion of violent disorder. All remain in custody this evening.
