"I didn't see the actual attack but I saw all of the police afterwards. It's a nice, quiet street so it is worrying."

He added: "I have lived here for more than 30 years and you used to see more bobbies on the beat. I know there has been cut backs but having a police officer out patrolling is a really good deterrent."

A 36-year-old man was arrested over the incident a short while after police pulled over a taxi on Halifax Road, Grenoside. The victim was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Call police on 101.
