Armed police were dispatched to a prominent hospital last night. A significant police presence was observed at Leeds General Infirmary, as numerous officers were seen in photos and videos circulating on social media. According to authorities, they responded to reports of a man arriving at the hospital with injuries consistent with a firearm discharge. Online images depicted police officers armed with automatic weapons and a fleet of at least seven police vehicles on the hospital premises.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed that two individuals had been arrested in connection with the incident and stated that investigations were ongoing. The police force addressed social media speculation in a statement, clarifying that they were alerted by hospital staff shortly after 5:30 pm when a man in his late twenties arrived at the hospital with firearm-related injuries that were reportedly not life-threatening.

The police emphasized that the incident did not occur at the hospital or within its grounds, and efforts were underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the man’s injuries. With two arrests made, a police cordon was established at the location.
