A man's been found in Bristol with stab wounds in the early hours of this morning.

Police say it happened on Stapleton Road shortly after midnight but despite a search of the area, no arrests have been made.

The victim - in his 30s - has been taken to hospital, we're told his condition isn't life-threatening.

Detective Inspector Laura Miller said: “While we are keeping an open mind, we do not believe this to be linked to the incident on Marksbury Road in south Bristol on Tuesday in which a 17-year-old boy was stabbed.

“We fully appreciate how two incidents of serious violence on the streets of Bristol could alarm our communities and I want to reassure people we are thoroughly investigating both incidents.

“Neighbourhood officers are also carrying out patrols in both areas and I’d encourage people to approach them if they have any concerns.”

Anyone with information which could help is asked to call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5222204787.
