Police said a pro-Palestine protest turned violent

Four men were arrested after a what police described as a pro-Palestine protest in Bradford turned violent.

A West Yorkshire Police said they were called to Salah's takeaway on Leeds Road shortly after 19:00 GMT on Friday.

Four men, aged 30, 34, 46 and 50, were detained on suspicion of offences including criminal damage, assault, affray and possessing an offensive weapon.

There were no serious injuries, a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said.

Police were called to the scene following reports of damage being caused to a window and people assaulted.

"Officers attended and established that the incident appeared to arise from a pro-Palestine protest involving a group outside the premises," the spokesperson said.

Inquiries into the incident would continue, they added, with officers "keeping key community representatives updated".
