A 65-year-old woman was left with a shattered shin bone and a broken knee cap after being knocked over by a dog in an area of Wakefield.
Police are appealing to find its owner.

The woman was walking her own dog when a golden brown pit bull-type dog got away from its owner and knocked her to the ground and then attacked her dog.
The other dog’s owner then separated the two dogs and left, leaving the woman on the ground.
The incident happened on the Railway Terrace in Normanton and police have been trying to track the owner of the aggressive dog since November.
The owner of the pit bull is described as white, around 5ft 10ins tall, of stocky build with short brown hair.

The victim has suffered what look to be life changing injuries as a result of this incident and faces potential operations in years to come. It is vital that we identify and speak to the owner of this dog"

The National Railway Museum (NRM) in York is planning improvements estimated to cost £50m to the centre.

Earlier last year they announced plans to re-route Leeman Road to make way for a new building as part of the York Central scheme.
It means closing or diverting Leeman Road near the NRM, so they can join the galleries into a new Central Gallery.

The Great Hall will focus on the railways of the past, a "Wonder Lab" will provide hands-on experiences for youngsters and a new Central Gallery will focus on the railways of the future.
Officials expect the upgrade to take seven years and hope to see visitor numbers rise to 1.2m a year.

We have these in Melbourne, big mistake - people just abuse them and literally park them anywhere. People are dumping them in the river and in dangerous places. The novelty soon wears off and they just become a pain and cost the council a fortune and it's the taxpayers that end up paying"

Usually when the police break a door down to get inside a house, they don't hang around afterwards to tidy up.

But today officers in Bradford did just that after they had to break a door down to help an elderly lady who had fallen.
Ambulance crews were called after the 91-year-old had fallen but they couldn't get in her home to help - so called in West Yorkshire Police.

They used their "big red key" (battering ram to you and me) to get inside the house and help the lady.
She was taken to hospital for check ups and is described as "well" - she'll be even better now the police have given her house the once over...

BA say they "had to take the difficult decision to reduce the frequency of flights to match demand" but they said there will still be two flights a day to and from Heathrow on the "busiest days".
