The stab victim was taken to hospital, police say, with a 20-year-old man arrested after the crash on Regent Street
A man was stabbed and a gun was fired after two cars crashed in Leeds city centre, police said.
Officers were called to Regent Street at about 23:50 GMT on Thursday after the collision, which involved a black Mercedes and a black BMW.
The stabbed man was taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening, West Yorkshire Police said.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray, it added.
The road was closed in both directions between Skinner Lane and Byron Street to allow for investigation work, causing queues of traffic in the area.
Damage in the BMW was found to be consistent with the firing of a gun, officers said, with the BMW leaving the scene before police arrived.
Insp Suzanne Hall, from the force, said: "A scene remains in place at this time, which has meant the closure of Regent Street - we thank members of the public for their patience.
"We need the community to support us by providing any information that they may have about this incident and those involved."
