Teen in hospital after Cribbs Causeway stabbing

A teenage boy was taken to hospital for emergency hospital treatment after being stabbed near a shopping centre.

Emergency services were called to the underpass between The Mall and The Venue at Cribbs Causeway, in Bristol, shortly after 17:50 BST on Monday.

The 15-year-old boy is now in a stable condition in hospital and his family have been made aware, Avon and Somerset Police said.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of possessing a bladed article and attempted murder and another boy, also 16, later handed himself in to police and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Both remain in police custody.

Avon and Somerset Police said a weapon had been recovered.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the force said: "While it's not believed there is any wider risk to the public, the injured person and the suspect were part of a larger group of young people who ran from the scene.

"We're keen to identify any of those individuals, described as being in their mid-teens and mostly wearing black."

Investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone who saw the incident or has any relevant dashcam or other footage which could help their investigation.
