A man's been arrested at a West Yorkshire supermarket following a knife incident, police have confirmed.

Officers called to the Sainsbury's supermarket on Harehills Lane in Leeds arrested a 32 year old on suspicion of affray following reports of a man demonstrating threatening behaviour with knives in the street.

The man arrested, thought to come from the local area was contained inside the supermarket where Police negotiated with him. A member of the public suffered a small cut to his finger during the incident. 

The West Yorkshire Police helicopter was called to the scene, along with fire crews before the five hour long standoff was resolved.
