The 21 year old was injured after being hit while walking home in July.

Police, who have previously made four arrests, have now released images of a dark blue Honda Accord as part of their investigation.

Detective Inspector Danielle Underwood: "You can see from the impact damage to the car and the wall how K came by such significant injuries.

"We're grateful to everyone who has contacted us following our earlier appeals.

"While we have made arrests we do still need to hear from anyone who saw the occupants of blue car or knows who was driving it."

The 21-year-old victim, known as K, was walking home from work when he was hit by a dark blue Honda Accord in Monks Park Avenue, Horfield, at about 4.30pm on Wednesday 22 July.

The occupants of the car shouted racist abuse at him before running off.
