ST JAMES' STREET has been revealed as the fifth most dangerous road in the city.

The Argus has mapped out all reported crime in the last year using police figures of more than 1,500 streets.

Shop owners say the street is plagued by violence, drug dealing and rough sleepers who “like to scream at each other”.

Cafe Wheat and Bean’s owner Oliver Branston told The Argus he was almost headbutted and his staff assaulted by a man he asked to move from outside the shop this month.

He said: “He started swearing at us and then things escalated.

"We called the police and chased him up the road and caught him.”

Barista April Daughtree said: “The problem is mainly down to homelessness and alcoholism.”
