## Key points

- Sheffield police used stop-and-search powers after two nights of violent disorder in Page Hall.
- Monday saw a bat-armed gathering injure a woman; one arrest made.
- Tuesday's clash left two men seriously hurt after a car hit a pedestrian.

## Summary

Police in Sheffield introduced a Section 60 order in the Page Hall area, granting officers powers to stop and search anyone without needing reasonable grounds, after two consecutive days of violent disorder in the neighbourhood. The measure was aimed at removing weapons from the streets and preventing further clashes in an area that courts have previously noted is prone to recurring large-scale disturbances.

The trouble began on Monday evening, when a large group armed with wooden bats gathered in the area, leaving a woman injured and resulting in one arrest on suspicion of assault. It escalated on Tuesday afternoon after a vehicle struck a pedestrian on Owler Lane, sparking a confrontation in which two men were attacked with metal bars and seriously injured. South Yorkshire Police authorised the Section 60 order for a defined boundary within Page Hall, running from Tuesday evening through to Wednesday evening, giving officers enhanced powers to search people and vehicles as they worked to restore calm to the area.
