The 26-year-old was arrested in a police operation in Hoyland town centre, Barnsley, yesterday afternoon.

Reports suggest that the man was arrested by armed police with the assistance of a police helicopter.

He remains in police custody this morning being quizzed over a shooting in the Burncross Road area of Chapeltown at 11pm last Friday.

Five men and one woman previously arrested over the incident have been bailed pending further inquiries.
