York – man seen swearing at group of 20-30 children
The man originally told police he was one of the children’s uncles after officers arrived in the city centre last night (March 13).
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said it was called to reports of children misbehaving and when officers arrived, a group of more than 20 nine to 13-year-olds were running through the city centre.

The spokesperson said: “These were children with their friends behaving as children behave.
“The concern is that York city centre on a Friday night is no place for large groups of unsupervised young children.
“This was emphasised to us when a gentleman who actually identified himself as the uncle to one of the children, raised his concern about them to us.
“He then walked up to the group swearing loudly and bitterly at all of them and had to be taken to one side and dealt with appropriately.”
