According to David Spereal, BBC Yorkshire
Several people have been arrested after violence broke out on the outskirts of Leeds, police said.
A police car was flipped and the bus was torched in Harehills during the disorder, which broke at around 17:00 BST on Friday and continued for several hours.
West Yorkshire Police said a number of people had been arrested, although they did not specify how many, and said further arrests would be made in the coming days.
The mayor of the area, Tracy Brabin, said that warrant patrols will be carried out in the area on Friday night and throughout the weekend to prevent further problems.
Assistant Chief Constable Pat Twiggs said officers had been called to the address “after social workers reported being met with hostility while dealing with child protection issues”.
He added: “Officers who responded were assaulted and assisted children’s social care staff to retreat to safety.
“As the noise escalated, damage was caused to vehicles and some fires.”
Mr Twiggs said the decision to withdraw officers from the scene was made “because it was clear” the police were the “sole target” of the rioters.
He added: “This allows for further community mediation to bring calm.
“The police then returned to the area with their fire colleagues to put out the remaining fire and not cause further risk. By this time, the crowd had subsided and the officers were able to fully restore order.”
Mr Twiggs added: “We will leave no stone unturned in the hunt for everyone involved.”
In a press conference on Friday evening, Mayor Brabin called for “calm” and asked parents to ensure their children do not go out on the streets.
He said: “We know that community members and youth and councilors have gone out and reassured people and encouraged them to do the right thing and stay off the streets.”
The press conference heard that Ms Brabin had attended earlier meetings with “key partners” and that plans had been made to keep Harehills safe.
Brabin said: “Priests and faith leaders also got the message there that we need to stay calm and make sure we don’t have what we see, which is scary, horrible and unacceptable.”
Mehwish Ahmed, who lives on Luxor Street, where the incident began, described children and social workers being removed from their homes by police officers.
“Everybody was surrounding (the house) and it was out of control to be honest,” he said.
He told the BBC that up to 50 police officers were present when the crowd gathered and became aggressive.
“People just follow it from there and that’s when it spreads to other streets,” he said.
“I don’t think a lot of people know what’s going on, but obviously they just join in.”
Ms Ahmed added: “We’ve been here for about 11 years but we’ve never seen anything like this.”
Mothin Ali, Green Party councilor for Gipton and Harehills, appeared on social media to try to stop the troublemakers on the scene and appealed for calm.
Speaking to the BBC at the scene after midnight, Mr Ali said: “This community is yours. It is ours.
“This bus is ours. This library is ours. The traffic lights are ours. We have to be proud of our community and make sure this can’t happen here.”
Mr Ali added: “I hope we can find out what’s going on. We need real investment in these communities. We need housing that is properly looked at – we have some of the poorest housing in the country.
“All of these issues are causing people frustration, but this is not the way to get rid of them.”
West Yorkshire Police Federation chairman Craig Nicholls said officers’ resilience in the face of a “night of chaos” was “nothing short of extraordinary”.
“When faced with aggression and harassment, quick thinking and courage are critical to bring the situation to safety,” he said.
“These actions prevented further escalation and preserved many lives in the community.”
He added: “These officers acted with professionalism and courage, setting the best example of what it means to serve and protect.”
Leeds City Council said it was “very grateful” to those who stopped the situation “cheaply”.
A spokesman said: “Incidents like this do not reflect well on Leeds or the Harehills community as a whole.
“Our community, including those in Harehills, have a vital role to play in collectively ensuring that our neighborhoods are safe and feel safe.”
