A 14-year-old boy was injured when he was deliberately hit by a car in Leeds, police have said.

Officers received a report of three males, one carrying a large knife, seen running in East Street in the city centre at about 15:30 BST on Monday.

Shortly after another call was made reporting that a boy had been hit by a grey Seat Leon nearby at the junction of Flax Place and Railway Street.

He was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle, police said.

Detectives are trying to establish the full circumstances of what happened and have appealed for anyone with information.
