In Leeds, a person has been charged for setting fire to a bus during a riot.

On Thursday evening, chaos erupted in Leeds as a double decker bus was set alight in the Harehills area. The situation was quickly taken into control by the police, who have now charged the first person in connection with the rioting. Iustin Dobre, 37, has been charged with violent disorder and arson for his involvement in the incident.

As the investigation continues, at least 10 people have been arrested so far. Four individuals who were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder have been bailed, while five others remain in custody. Dobre, who resides in Harehills, has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

The disturbing events that unfolded were even livestreamed on social media, capturing the attention of the public. Along with the burning bus, a police car was also overturned during the chaos. To ensure the safety of the community, an increased police presence will be maintained in the area for the next few days.

On Friday evening, a peaceful vigil was held in Harehills as a way to bring the community together. However, one woman was arrested for a public order offence, but was later released with a conditional caution. The disturbance initially began outside a home where an incident involving children and social workers took place.

According to West Yorkshire Police, the workers and children were relocated to a safe place as the situation outside became increasingly tense. The hours-long disruption resulted in a bus being completely destroyed, a police car being overturned, and windows being damaged by rocks and bricks. Officers were deployed, some of whom were in riot gear, but due to the hostile nature of the situation, they were temporarily withdrawn.

After the chaos subsided, the streets were littered with broken glass and debris. However, amidst the chaos, there were also individuals trying to calm the situation and put out the fire on the bus. It was evident that not everyone was participating in the rioting, as some were simply trying to ease the tension.
