A Bradford pub and an Asian restaurant in Greengates were attacked as violence flared in isolated pockets for a second night.

The Bradford Arms pub in Manningham Lane was attacked in the early hours of today.

Julia Smith, the pub's licensee, who along with husband, Ray, was organising a clean-up today, said they feared for their lives in the attack.

"It was absolutely petrifying. We thought we were going to die," said 52-year-old Mrs Smith.

The windows of the pub had been smashed on Saturday afternoon, and Mr Smith, 58, said: "We were just thinking that we had escaped lightly, having a few broken windows. Obviously we spoke too soon."

The couple were woken at about 1am by a terrifying bang.

Mrs Smith said: "We heard shouting and stuff was being thrown at the windows. We were absolutely terrified. We could smell the smoke and thought we were going to burn to death."

Police who arrived quickly on the scene shouted at them to get out as fast as they could.

Workers from the Southern Fried Chicken Silvergrill takeaway, opposite the pub, raced across with a fire extinguisher and doused the flames.

"If it wasn't for them I don't know what the damage would have been or if we would have lived to tell the tale," said Mrs Smith.

A gang of white youths also went on the rampage in Greengates, targeting a restaurant and a petrol station.

Rocks were used to smash more than a dozen windows at the La Kebabeesh restaurant and several more at the Save petrol station, both in Greengates, shortly after 10pm.

Restaurant director Tayub Amjad, 20, said a 30-strong group of youths had attacked his premises.

"I was sitting down in the restaurant just after the two tables of customers we'd had in left, when a brick came through the window," he said.

"Some of the youths came inside. Some had baseball bats and one had an axe. They were smashing the windows and chanting something while they were doing it. It's probably retaliation for Saturday night.''

Owner Jehangir Durrani said he did not know whether the incident was a tit-for-tat attack but added: "We've been here for 13 years and nothing like this has ever happened before - our relationship with our customers and people in this area has always been very good.''

Windows on two cars parked near the restaurant were also smashed while damage was caused to a flat above it.

Khalid Mehmood, owner of the Save garage, said terrified cashier Qasair Mahmood had to dive for cover under the counter when a group of white youths hurled rocks at the windows.

He said two or three youths had gone into the garage, causing damage to a freezer and stealing a quantity of cigarettes and a till containing some £250.

Mr Mehmood said he believed the attack was a response to the rioting, adding: "I'm sure it was a racial attack and they know the garage and restaurant are run by Asians.''

Ricky Horsman, 40, of New Line, said: "It's disgusting and just makes you feel ashamed - you just can't excuse it. I can't believe something like this has happened in Greengates. It's terrible for Bradford.''

Following the attacks dozens of police officers were drafted into the area, taking up positions outside both properties and on several nearby streets.

Chief Superintendent Stuart Hyde said eight people - white and Asian - were arrested in the Ravenscliffe/Greengates area but the trouble had been nothing like on the scale of Saturday. "

There were 600 police officers on the streets overnight including reinforcements from seven other forces. Police chiefs said that level of policing would be maintained all week.

l Two 16-seater minibuses used by Keighley Community Transport were trashed by yobs last night, and KCT organisers believe the attack was sparked by the riots in Bradford.

One was smashed up and an attempt made to roll it down the street. The other was scrawled with the words "Blacks' rule".

l Two petrol bombs were thrown at The Tube night club in at 10.30pm last night, and police are treating the attack as a continuation of the violence in Bradford.
