    Police and firefighters were called to deal with a person trapped in barbed wire in Harrogate yesterday.

    Harrogate firefighters were summoned to assist police at Ripon Way, which runs alongside the former gasworks site earmarked for the new Tesco supermarket, at 9.06pm.

    North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said:

    "Harrogate crews responded to assist police with a person trapped in barbed wire.
    "The person was released prior to fire service arrival with no action taken by crews."


    No details of how the person became trapped, the extent of any injuries or the precise location on Ripon Way, have been released.

    Firefighters also dealt with a fire at premises on Scriven Road in Knaresborough at 3.06am this morning.

    The incident report said a gas pipe had caught fire. It added:

    "Fire extinguished using two breathing apparatus and one hose reel. Incident handed into care of gas board."
