    DI Steve Menzies, senior investigating officer at North Yorkshire Police, said this morning:

    “I want to reassure the residents of Harrogate that this is a tragic and isolated incident and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
    "Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to the family of the man who sadly lost his life.
    "I would like to appeal again to anyone who witnessed, including recording, the incident or events leading up to it to get in touch by calling 101, quoting reference 12200147262.”

    “Nothing like this happens around here.
    “We came outside and were asked by an officer to move along. Another lady came out but was asked to go back into her house.”
