'A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a teenager's hand was chopped
off with a machete and left 'lying in the street'. Jaden Hughes, 18, was left needing a seven-hour
operation to reattach his hand following the barbaric attack in Leeds on Tuesday night.
A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder along with a 13-year-old boy
held on suspicion of criminal damage.
Jaden Hughes and some Police looking for clues.
Horrified eye-witnesses said the severed hand was left lying on the street as Jaden screamed out in
pain following the attack on Tuesday night. The teen, who was brutally assaulted on Stanks Parade in
Leeds, West Yorkshire, was said to have stunned paramedics by making an X-rated joke as he was
treated at the scene.
DARK HUMOUR
One witness said: "He was obviously screaming in pain - which we all heard. I mean, the lad had his
arm chopped off. "But he was in good spirits - he shouted out, ‘for God sake, how am I going to be
able to w**k now?!'".
Extra stop and search powers were put in place yesterday, allowing officers to search people and
vehicles under Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.
It covers an area of east Leeds including Harehills, Gipton, Halton Moor, Swarcliffe and adjoining areas
either side of the A64. The original order was put in place for 24 hours from 3pm yesterday. A further
24-hour order has been authorised and will be reviewed again tomorrow.
Superintendent Russ Hughes, of Leeds District, said: "The continued use of Section 60 powers is a
legitimate tactic that gives us an enhanced ability to target and deter those carrying weapons and
therefore prevent serious violence.
"Scrutiny and accountability are key factors to ensure the trust and confidence of our communities,
and we are working closely with local representatives to keep them fully updated.
Detectives are appealing for anyone with information on the attack to come forward...'
