Police officers were attacked, missiles thrown and vehicles torched and flipped when trouble broke out in a Leeds suburb.
Residents were warned to stay indoors in Harehills on Thursday evening in what West Yorkshire Police described as a “serious disorder incident”.
Witnesses said officers were initially called to reports of a domestic disturbance at an address in Luxor Street at about 17:00 BST, with further “pockets of disorder” then breaking out.
Large crowds gathered on the streets, with social media footage showing vehicle windows being smashed and items thrown at officers. No injuries have been reported.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, a West Yorkshire MP, said she was “appalled at the shocking scenes”.
“Disorder of this nature has no place in our society,” she said.
Hundreds of people remained gathered in the area late into the evening, on streets that were strewn with rubbish and other debris.

A BBC reporter in the area at midnight said there did not appear to be any uniformed police presence at the scene at that time, with police vehicles stationed about a mile away.
Members of the community were seen attempting to put out a fire on a completely burnt-out bus near the Compton Centre with buckets of water as they waited for emergency services to arrive.
The BBC later saw police and the fire service arrive at the scene an hour or so later.
