Armed police were scrambled to a street in Leeds after a “gun” was spotted during a street fight.
At 10.47pm yesterday (Sunday, March 15), police received a report of males fighting in Kennet Lane, Garforth.
Officers attended the incident including armed response after it was mentioned that a gun had been seen.
“Enquiries at the scene led to the arrest of a male on suspicion of assault. A handgun was also found following the search of a vehicle,” a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said.
The weapon was later confirmed to be a BB gun, the YEP understands.
Further enquiries led to the arrest of a second man. Both remain in custody while Leeds CID continue to investigate the incident.
