Meanwhile, York Central MP Rachael Maskell called for people to "draw together as a community" following the "shocking incident". Police said the incident took place outside York Mosque and Islamic Centre in Bull Lane at 2.19am on Thursday, July 30. However, two nearby residents in Bull Lane flats who did not want to be named said they were asleep and unaware of any disturbance. A commuter passing through Bull Lane described his shock at seeing the police presence.
