A 13-year-old child also sustained minor injuries during the incident.
The man has been released from hospital and is now in police custody for questioning by officers from the Major Investigation Team.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Steve Menzies said: “The incident took place around 8.10am both inside and outside a property in Beckwithshaw which is situated on the main road, the B6161 Otley Road, and is very close to the local primary school.
"I reiterate that this incident is not connected to the school, however I am appealing to anyone who may have been dropping off children at the school, or commuters passing by, to check their vehicle dashcam and report any footage that may have captured any part of the incident prior to the attendance of the emergency services.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information, is asked to contact police.
Dial 101, press two and ask to speak to the Major Investigation Team; quote reference number 12220105995 when passing on any information.
