POLICE swooped on a white van in a dramatic incident that was captured on camera in Bradford city centre last night.

Officers in unmarked silver vehicles stopped the Ford Transit on Shipley Airedale Road, close to its junction with Barkerend Road, at about 8.40pm.

A passing motorist caught the drama on cameras mounted in the front and rear of their vehicle.

The rear camera showed a suspect fleeing the scene across the carriageway towards Anne Gate, chased by an officer who was forced to stop traffic to get across the road.

The front camera captured police apparently arresting at least two other people from the van's passenger and rear doors.
