UPDATE: Spontaneous Demonstration, Bradford

    Police in Bradford are continuing enquiries following a spontaneous demonstration involving a number of people which caused disruption to roads in the Leeds Road area of Bradford on Tuesday evening.

    The protest followed a shooting on Monday evening in Huddersfield, where a local man identified as Mohammed Yasser Yaqub was shot by police and died.

    The majority of those who attended the protest were peaceful in manner and no injuries were reported, however a small number engaged in disorder which caused damage to a number of vehicles, both police and civilian.

    We would ask anyone with any footage which may help this investigation to contact the police, so further enquiries can be carried out.  

    Local officers will continue to work with partners and to provide reassurance to members of the community.
