A gang of masked men attempted to attack another group in a confrontation in Batley.

Police are now appealing for information following the incident.

Kirklees District CID want information about the stand-off on Healey Lane in the town which happened between 18:30 and 19:00 on July 11.

The unmasked men fled into a nearby convenience store on Healey Road and blocked the door.

The masked group attempted to get in and caused damage to the door before leaving the scene.

No-one was injured in the disorder incident.

DC Nicole Rubio-Senior who is investigating the incident, said: “We are investigating this incident and would like to speak to anyone who saw this group of six masked men attack three males in the car park, or who saw the group causing damage to the front of the shop.

“It is believed the attack on the men was a targeted offence and it must be stressed that such behaviour will absolutely not be tolerated in our communities.”

The M1 has been now closed in both directions at the J42 (M62 interchange/Lofthouse) due to a distressed horse.

As you can see from the traffic camera, delays continue and although there is a signed diversion, it is having a knock-on effect on the M62 as well.

Some good news though for the M1 in South Yorkshire. That stretch of the motorway has returned to normal following an accident northbound towards J31 (Sheffield south).

Four years ago 11-year-old Harry Whitlam was knocked down and killed at a farm in Rothwell.

The man who was driving the tractor that took the boy's life was drunk but couldn't be prosecuted for drink-driving, as it happened on private land.

He did go to jail for 16 months and two weeks under health and safety legislation, rather than road traffic law.

There's a debate in parliament later about a possible change in the law and Harry's mother Pamela wants to see this legal loop-hole closed:

Elmet and Rothwell MP Alec Shelbrooke will lead a House of Commons adjournment debate on this subject and told me why he's helping the family:

Parents are backing calls to allow schools greater flexibility when it comes to taking their children to events like the Great Yorkshire Show.

It's after a recent high court ruling cracked down on parents taking their children out of school, unless a head teacher agrees to it.

This family I spoke to didn't think twice about taking their children to show for the day rather than the classroom:

Organisers say the three day show should be seen as an educational benefit for youngsters.

Charles Mills, the director of the Great Yorkshire Show, told me it should be a common sense issue:

However, the former education secretary Michael Gove, who was at the Great Yorkshire Show yesterday told BBC Radio York he's against the idea:
