CCTV released after two people assaulted in Bristol city centre

Officers investigating an assault on two people in Bristol city centre are hoping the public can help them identify a man captured on CCTV.

A man and a woman, both in their 20s, were assaulted at The Bearpit shortly after 3am on Saturday 29 October.

The man suffered a broken jaw and required dental treatment. The woman sustained bruises and also required hospital treatment.

The man we are trying to trace is described as male, white, about 5ft 10ins, estimated to be in his 30s, of a large build and had short brown hair. He was wearing a grey Hoodrich tracksuit top.

“Thankfully instances of this nature are infrequent, but we remain committed to catch the man responsible.
