Police investigations are continuing into a fight in Bristol last weekend (23 April) that left three people injured.

A 16-year-old boy, 20-year-old man and 61-year-old man all needed hospital treatment after the incident at Stockwood Pump Track on Sunday, with the 61-year-old then arrested.

He has since been released on bail.

Neighbourhood Inspector Chris Starr said: “We are keeping an open mind about what took place at the bike track on Sunday evening as we look to piece together what happened.

“One man has already been interviewed and given his account and we will, in due course, also be speaking to those who sustained injuries along with anyone else we identify as being involved.

“In the meantime, neighbourhood officers are conducting regular patrols through the park and in the surrounding area to provide reassurance to the community.

“Should anyone have any concerns relating to the incident, I encourage them to speak to one of my officers or contact us on the non-emergency 101 number."

Anyone who witnessed what happened or knows anything relevant is asked to call the police on that number.

Officers also want to hear from anyone who may have mobile phone footage of what happened.
