The 25-year-old suffered a broken leg, dislocated ankle and torn ligaments.

When an ambulance did not arrive, he said he was carried by team-mates onto the team coach which took him to hospital.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service has apologised for the distress caused by a "delayed response", adding the call was received "during an extremely busy period".

"That is an absolute disgrace," he said.

"To be treated like that, with my foot facing the wrong way for up to five hours because I 'wasn't a priority' is disgusting and I wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy."

Mr Hope says he was left in a changing room corridor for three hours waiting for the ambulance and that the St John's Ambulance team were unable to provide assistance.

Police figures show there was an average of one serious assault a day in York last year as violent crime in the city increased.

250 assaults occasioning actual bodily harm were recorded in 2017, but in 2018 that rose to 365.

A report written for council licensing bosses said nearly half of violent incidents were alcohol-fuelled with the majority taking place on weekends.

Councillor Janet Looker said: "These figures will do nothing to allay the fears of those who claim the city centre is not somewhere to visit on Saturdays or weekend evenings, especially with children."

During a council meeting there were calls for a "city centre summit" to take action on crime and anti-social behaviour in York.

Wildlife campaigners in North Yorkshire are putting up cameras to try and stop illegal badger baiting.

One campaigner from a North Yorkshire badger group, who only wants to be identified as Ann, said setts in the area have been reinforced and fitted with cameras.

She urged members of the public to be on look-out for groups of men "with terriers, lurchers and spades" and to always report anything that looks suspicious.

Just two weeks ago, five men were jailed after they were caught badger baiting in East Yorkshire.

The RSPCA says the cameras work as a deterrent but it's hard to police, with many instances going unreported.

City were close to being sold last autumn, but Allam felt the move would not be in the club's best interests.

He also says a rival bid by former chairman Paul Duffen could not raise funds needed to buy the Tigers.

The businessman also claims a Chinese bid to buy City in 2018 ended after fan protests.

He said: "We had one of the potential interests agree a price to pay, and I said 'how much are you going to put into the club and he said 'that's it'.

"I said 'sorry, no'. I need the future of the club here because I'm a local man, I don't want, after all that I've done, to see the club not able to survive.

"I could have sold it and got my money, but I refused, and I will refuse that."
