Four police cars were spotted at the scene, with one man being reported carried away on a stretcher into an ambulance. 

A passer-by said: “There were men chucking stones at people, and when the police arrived I think he bit one of the police officers.” 

A city centre worker who was in the area at the time said she “just tried to get out of the way”. 

“I was on my way to Sainsburys and the police were on the bench restraining him,” she said.  

South Yorkshire Police has been contacted.
