POLICE have arrested a man over a targeted attack on three men in Shipley.

The incident took place in Melbourne Street just before 12.40pm on Wednesday.

Witnesses reported the area being cordoned off as forensic examinations took place.

The injured men, aged 28, 38 and 52, were taken to hospital for treatment.

The 28-year-old had suffered serious leg injuries and had been kept in hospital.

Police were today unable to say whether he has since been discharged.

A Bradford man, aged 26, has now been arrested in connection with the incident.

He has been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and remains in police custody today.

The police have retracted an earlier statement, in which they said a second man had also been arrested. This had been inaccurate, a spokesman said.
