Four more men arrested after gun was fired at police car in Bradford

COPS have arrested four men after shots were fired at a police car in Bradford on Christmas Day.
Officials arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder following the shooting on Sunday.
Four other men, all of whom are from Bradford, have since been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, and are currently being held in police custody.
The officer was in a marked squad car with a member of the public when two shots were fired from another car in Bradford, West Yorkshire Police said.
The moment the bullets were fired at the cop car, which was responding to a disturbance outside a nightclub, was dramatically captured on CCTV.
The offending car was later found burnt out in the Great Horton area of Bradford.
The force released the footage of the moment the shots were fired from what is believed to be a black Seat Leon.
A spokesman said the incident took place as officers were attending a disturbance outside the Krizma nightclub in Sackville Street at about 4.20am on Christmas Morning.
