The incidents happened between 2.30am and 3am on Sunday, 12 September on Stokes Croft, Bristol.

In the first incident the victims, aged 18 and 19, sustained facial injuries after being punched and kicked outside No. 51 bar.

The offenders initially left in a black vehicle before returning around 10 minutes later and attacking the same two men with weapons, believed to be baseball bats and golf clubs.

One of the victims was taken to hospital where he was found to have suffered broken ribs.

Anyone who witnessed either of the incidents is asked to contact 101, providing the call handler with the reference 5221211717.
