A man who was shot by police in Hull has been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences, police say.

Officers were called to reports a man was believed to be in possession of a firearm in Hessle Road in the early hours of Sunday.

The 35-year-old was shot by armed officers and remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital.

Humberside Police said the man would be "interviewed by officers in due course".

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has started an investigation into what happened.

Humberside Police said it would "fully co-operate" with the IOPC and added it was carrying out a criminal investigation.

Assistant Ch Con Chris Noble said: "There are two investigations currently running parallel in connection to the incident.

"We are carrying out a criminal investigation in which a man has been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences and will be interviewed by officers in due course.

"The IOPC is carrying out a separate independent investigation which will look into our actions as part of the incident."

Jerry Appicella, 51, whose body was found inside a property on Craganour Place on Sunday night, died from head injuries.

Police believe Mr Appicella was the victim of a "targeted attack" and that he had been involved in an altercation with a group of people before his death.

South Yorkshire Police said the altercation with a group of males and females took place on Tuesday 3 December in an alleyway leading to Hickleton Street in Denaby Main.

Inquiries suggest he then walked home where his body was found at the weekend.

Officers say investigations into Mr Appicella's death are continuing and they would like to speak to anyone with information which might help them piece together what happened to him.

Councillors say police should "do their job properly" and have rejected a restorative justice plan for vandals who damaged a public toilet in a South Yorkshire town.

South Yorkshire Police were called to Penistone's public toilet in the Market Barn (pictured) on Shrewsbury Road on 3 December.

They found plastic fittings and the toilet door had been damaged.

The toilet had been restored over several years in a project by the Town Council.

Two youths, aged 17 and 18, admitted causing damage to plastic fittings valued at £50 inside the building.

But councillors have reacted angrily after being told police decided a fitting punishment was an apology from those responsible, payment of £50 compensation and a litter-pick in the Market Barn.

The council says it will cost hundreds of pounds in an insurance excess to repair the damage.

Councillor David Wood said it was not for the public of Penistone to be left to pay the repair bill.

Councillor Steve Marsh also questioned the level of punishment saying: "They need to be in court and have action taken.

“I suggest we go back to the police and tell them to do their job properly and that we want to prosecute."

South Yorkshire Police said offenders are referred for restorative justice after their case has been reviewed by a panel who take into account factors including past history and the nature of the offence.

The pipe maintained by Yorkshire Water ruptured in October 2013, allowing raw effluent to seep into Walton Colliery Nature Park, near Wakefield.

Yorkshire Water was prosecuted by the Environment Agency and fined £600,000 at Leeds Crown Court in 2016.

It has now paid compensation to Walton Angling Club, which stocked the lake.

A seal pup has been rescued after being attacked by a dog on the Yorkshire coast near Scarborough.

It happened at Hunmanby Gap on Friday, according to rescue charity British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), which was alerted to the incident by a member of the public.

Matt Barnes, a Marine Mammal Medic, says: “We found a recently weaned, underweight and bloodied grey seal pup, with puncture wounds to his head and rear flipper surrounded by sand disturbed by dog paw prints.

“Grey seals are currently pupping along the Yorkshire coast and have a hard time, with mortality rates at about 50% during their first year.

"This is reduced further when the risks posed by marine litter and disturbance from people and dogs are factored in”.

The young seal has been taken to a rehabilitation centre where it is hoped it will make a full recovery, the charity said.

The BDMLR is urging all dog owners to familiarise themselves with local beaches and avoid those used by seals to minimise disturbance.
