Armed police have arrested a man on suspicion of murder after a woman found with serious injuries in a house died.
Police were called to an ongoing disturbance at a house in Leeds on Monday, where the woman, 35, was found with serious injuries.
She was rushed to hospital but died of her injuries, sparking a murder probe.
Armed officers arrested a 36-year-old man a mile away from where the woman was found two hours later, West Yorkshire Police said.
A spokesman for the force said: “At 6.26pm yesterday, police were called to an ongoing disturbance at an address in Victoria Road, Headingley.
“Officers attended and found a 35-year-old woman with serious injuries.
“She was taken to hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment but was pronounced dead a short time later.
“Armed officers were deployed to carry out arrest enquiries and detained a 36-year-old man in Kirkstall Road at about 8.30pm.

A large police cordon remained in place in Victoria Road and Kirkstall Road on Tuesday as forensic officers combed the scenes for clues.
