    They all happened in the Woodhouse area over the last two weeks.

    Last Tuesday a woman was walking home across Woodhouse Moor after a night out when a man came up to her, grabbed her and pushed her against a bus stop.

    She struggled free and carried on home, only for the man to approach her again and grab her and push her against a building.

    She shouted for help and the man walked away and a passing taxi driver took her home.

    Police are linking the attack to another similar incident in the area and are investigating if a robbery could also be linked.

  10. Leeds stuffed tiger holds key to extinction mysterypublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 2 October 2017

    This may look like an old moth-eaten bit of taxidermy to you, but to scientists this stuffed tiger holds the key to a 3,000-year-old mystery - and it's looked after in Leeds.

    The Tasmanian tiger disappeared from Australia about three millennia ago and scientists and naturalists have never been able to find out why.

    Now, thanks to three stuffed thylacines (that's the scientific name for them) from Leeds Museum's collections, they have an answer.

    Experts say their extinction was most likely due to extreme weather and drought, rather than wild dogs or hunting by Aborigines.

    The last captive thylacine (pictured) died at Hobart Zoo in Tasmania in 1936, but rumours of sightings of the animal have circulated for years.

    Almost an-hour-and-a-half later, three men, aged 20, 22 and 30, were also stabbed on Division Street.

    Police say they think the incidents are linked.

    Lamar Waite, 18, of Denholme Close, Sheffield, and Osman Adan, 19, of Neville Close, Sheffield, are also each charged with two counts of racially aggravated grievous bodily harm.

    Detectives investigating a sex assault on a young woman in York at the weekend want to trace a mother and son who came to the victim's aid.

    The 18-year-old had been out with friends but became separated from them after leaving a nightclub in the early hours of Saturday.

    After the assault, she asked for help from an unknown man at a location she describes as a garage in the York or Harrogate area.

    He gave her a black jacket to wear which had the logo "FRANKE" on it and he then phoned his mother and she drove the woman to her home address in Boroughbridge.

    The mother and son are being asked to come forward - and anyone with information about the incident is also being asked to contact police.

    A brand new version of Common People by legendary Sheffield band Pulp is being re-recorded as part of celebrations to mark the 50th birthday of the BBC in South Yorkshire in November.

    It's sung by a community choir drawn from BBC Radio Sheffield listeners - many of whom have never met before.

    They've been put through their paces by musical director Robert Webb, who's from Sheffield City Opera:

    A special video celebrating South Yorkshire will be shot to accompany the song.

    Now the call's gone out for local people to be extras in the film, which will be recorded on Sunday 22 October. If you want to be involved then email: radio.sheffield@bbc.co.uk

    Quote Message

    It's absolutely brilliant that BBC Radio Sheffield has chosen one of our songs for their 50th birthday celebrations...There's a lot of South Yorkshire spirit and attitude in Common People that still resonates today. I can't wait to see the finished film!"
