A 10-year-old boy has been arrested

who suffered a head injury in Leeds,
police have said.
The man, named locally as Victor
Hepworth, was found lying in the street in
Back Hill Top Avenue, Harehills, on Sunday
evening and was later pronounced dead in

It is understood the dead man lived in the
street where the incident happened. He is
yet to be formally identified, police said.
West Yorkshire Police said "further medical
examination" was taking place to establish
the cause of death.
'Shocked'
Liaqat Ali, manager of the Abubakar
supermarket on nearby Roundhay Road,
said the victim was a regular customer and
he had seen him on Sunday.
He said: "The old gentleman used to come
to the shop all the time, God rest his soul.
"I saw the old man walking around
yesterday afternoon, but I didn't speak to
him. He was quite well known in the area.
"Everyone's surprised that this has
happened. I'm shocked they've arrested a
little kid."
Anyone who has information about the
incident is asked to contact the police.
