Armed police were called after a large-scale disturbance in the centre of Bradford

Armed police were called to a large-scale disturbance in the centre of Bradford on Tuesday afternoon.

Officers were called to Market Street shortly before 16:30 BST after reports of a group of men in balaclavas acting suspiciously.

A short time later it was reported that a knife had been seen, with fighting taking place to the rear of the magistrates' court building.

A man was arrested and a knife seized, West Yorkshire Police said.

A police spokesperson said further arrests had been made and inquiries into the disturbance were continuing.
