POLICE are hunting three men after a car was attacked with weapons in a busy Keighley main road.

The assailants were seen speeding away from the scene of the incident, in Hard Ings Road, in what is believed to be a black BMW X5.

"Three men were seen getting into a black BMW and leaving the scene and we are keen to trace them," said a police spokesman.

"We are at an early stage of the investigation and inquiries are ongoing."

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact the police on 101, quoting reference number 0789 and today's date.
