The 24-year-old man needed hospital treatment for a deep cut to his forehead after being punched by a man on the slip road at Junction 29 on Monday, according to West Yorkshire Police.

The victim had been driving his orange Ford Fiesta westbound on the M62 "when the suspect’s car joined the motorway at Junction 30 and an altercation took place," police said.

Officers added: "The suspect then tailgated the victim and continuously flashed his headlights before overtaking and forcing him to stop."

The assault then took place.

A police spokesperson said: "We are attempting to identify the driver or vehicle involved and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident, which occurred between 17:30 and 17:45.

"We are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with relevant dashcam footage."

The victim was attacked on the M62 after being followed and forced to stop by another driver.

York Minster's St Cuthbert Window dates from 1440 and tells the story of the life and miracles of one of northern England's most significant saints.

The 152 panes have suffered centuries of erosion and corrosion, experts at the minster said.

They are to be repaired using state-of-the-art protective glazing which is designed to last at least a century.

Experts are currently stabilising any cracked and broken glass and lead, before returning the window with a glazing to help keep the glass dry.

The project is the first piece of "serious conservation" since the immediate post-war period, according to specialists from York Glaziers Trust.

Alex McCallion, director of works and precinct at York Minster, said: "We're downwind of four coal-fired power stations so we're seeing the effect of centuries of erosion and corrosion."

"We work in 100-year scaffold cycles so there won't be scaffolding up here for another 100 years. We will leave stone on the building that we think has 100 years left in it," he added.

Police say the ambulance was responding to another incident when the crash happened.

The crash, involving a BMW, happened in the early hours of Tuesday morning at Zucco Italian restaurant in Leeds.

Mr Leggiero said no-one was hurt, but the crash resulted in substantial damage to the building which was now being assessed by structural engineers.

In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said the driver of the BMW was taken to hospital as a precaution but was not injured in the crash.

The force had launched an investigation and is appealing for anyone with information to get in touch.

The reminder follows an incident in the Darnall and Tinsley area last week. On Thursday 20 May, an "elderly gentleman" answered his door to a man claiming to be from the gas board.When he was asked to show some ID, the caller made several excuses, ultimately refusing to provide any identification documents and then abruptly left the address, said police.

Sgt Katie Rowland-Wilson said: “This has all the signs of being a bogus doorstep caller; any genuine worker from an energy or gas company would be happy to show ID when asked. “The occupant of the address rightly challenged him and refused to let him in the house, despite him being very insistent. This is a really good reminder for all of us, to ask questions and be aware of the dangers of bogus callers.“If you have any information about this incident, or anything similar in the Darnall and Tinsley areas, please contact my team.”

York and Harrogate are each to receive £1.5m to speed up changes to make them greener as part of a project by Northern Powergrid, it's been confirmed.

The money is part of a £53m project to improve the electricity infrastructure in the north.

The cash means York and Harrogate should see an increase in the number of electric buses and electric charging points over the next two years.

As part of the project £7.3m is expected to be used to support rapid electric vehicle charging at Woodhall services on the M1 near Sheffield.
