What have residents said about the attacks?

Many residents told the Yorkshire Evening Post they were unaware of the circumstances - and had only heard a helicopter in the air last night.

One Burton Row resident, however, said she had previously experienced aggressive behaviour in the area.

She said: "It used to be a lovely street. Everyone was nice and friendly, but not now.”
