A man has been arrested after two people were injured outside Bradford College.

Police were called to the scene to reports of a man armed with what was initially believed to be a knife at around 9.20am.

A man, aged in his 30s, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting two members of the public and assaulting two emergency workers, West Yorkshire Police said.

He was also arrested for a "racially-aggravated public order offence" and causing damage to a police vehicle.

Police said a small gardening tool was seized at the scene.

Two members of the public who were hurt in the incident were taken to hospital.

Witnesses, including those with video footage, have been urged to come forward.

Detective Inspector Ailis Coates said: “We know that this incident will understandably cause some concern in the community. I would like to reassure people that the suspect was quickly detained by security staff and arrested by the police.

“We understand that this incident has been witnessed by a large number of people and that some people may have filmed bits of it.

"We would ask them to please share this footage with the police as it could greatly assist us in our ongoing investigation.

“We currently have a police scene in place on Great Horton Road and people can expect to see our neighbourhood policing colleagues in the area providing reassurance to college staff and students and the wider community.”
