More motorists from Leeds have been prosecuted for misusing disabled parking badges than drivers from anywhere else in England, new figures show.

A total of 896 drivers faced legal action in the year to March, and one in four of them were from Leeds, analysis by the Press Association of figures from the Department for Transport reveals.

Almost all - 98% - were for drivers using someone else's blue badge.  

Blue badges mean that disabled people can park for free in pay and display bays and for up to three hours on yellow lines. Misusing them can carry a fine of up to £1,000.

Adnan Maqsood, 34, of Windermere Road, Bradford, pleaded guilty to common assault.

The girl was in Greggs at The Headrow in February with her mother and brother when she was assaulted while her mother was at the counter.

Maqsood was originally charged with sexual assault, but was cleared at Leeds Crown Court.

He is currently serving a 15-month prison term for an earlier separate stalking offence and his new sentence will be served concurrently, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

The defining moment came just after the break when Kemar Roofe produced a moment of brilliance.

Monk told BBC West Yorkshire Sport he felt United deserved better than to lose out to late goals from Divock Origi and Ben Woodburn after creating a host of chances. 

United picked up injuries to midfielder Eunan O'Kane and defender Liam Cooper who are doubtful for Saturday's visit of Aston Villa.

The amount of time wasted by motorists stuck in traffic jams in West Yorkshire's two big cities will have cost motorists £2.6bn by 2025, according to a study out today.

It's come from a company called Inrix, which provides travel information. The organisation has listed the 10 British cities with the most time-consuming congestion problems. 

In Leeds alone, motorists will collectively lose £1.5bn of time by 2025 just sitting in traffic, while their Bradford counterparts will be missing £1.1bn worth of time, the study shows.

3. Rumours that Leeds United is about to be sold... Again.
4. It was well nippy today, but it does make for some good pictures
5. They saved his bacon, it was a pig of a job and he hog-ged the limelight. The 15st porker who needed the help of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue

The A58 Halifax Road in Ripponden blocked following a one-car accident. As you might expect there's very slow traffic in both directions between the B6113 Elland Road junction and the Stubbing Lane junction.

Avoid if you can.

Further to the accident on the A58 in Ripponden, the 560 service is being affected by the crash:

If you use the M62 across to Manchester everyday, you might be able to help identify a man who carried out a terrifying road-rage attack.

A lorry driver's cab was attacked by a fellow motorist brandishing a spade. The incident happened about 12:00 GMT on 9 November on the M62 in Eccles, Greater Manchester.

It took place after a collision between the two vehicles near the M60 junction. This video contains violence.
