  The man was taken to Leeds General Infirmary, where he currently remains in a serious condition.

  A 31 year old woman and a 36 year old man were arrested at the scene.
  

Officers sealed off Swann Street for several hours. The Yorkshire Air Ambulance was called to the scene landing next to Scarcroft School.
