POLICE were called to a park in Thornton after receiving reports that a large group of youths had gathered.
Officers went to a recreation ground off Royd Street at about 7.40pm on Tuesday.
One local, who did not want to be named, said a teenage girl was being targeted, adding: "This girl did not know what was going on.
"There were about 50 youths. You should have seen the crowd - buses were full. It was scary. People said they had never seen anything like it.
"We are a small village. We don't want this up here."
Yesterday, Sergeant Emma Rowbottom, of the Bradford West Area Neighbourhood Team, said: "Police were called to Royd Street, Thornton at about 7.41pm yesterday after receiving a report of youths congregating at the location.
"Officers attended and spoke to the youths, who subsequently left the area.
"No assaults or injuries were reported and enquiries are continuing into this matter."
