Boy, 15, charged over attack on two police officers in Knowle

A teenager has been charged with two counts of assault after a pair of police officers were attacked.

The 15-year-old boy will appear at Bristol Youth Court over the alleged offences on April 20.

He was arrested yesterday (March 17) after officers had been called to reports of a stolen vehicle at an address in the Chadleigh Grove area of Knowle at lunchtime.

Officers discovered a motorcycle in the garden of the property.

Two teenagers were arrested shortly afterwards.

A second teenager, aged 18, was arrested on suspicion of theft and later released under investigation.

He was also cautioned for the handling of stolen property.

Chief Inspector Olly Cosgrove, area commander for South Bristol said: “We will not tolerate this type of behaviour and will make strenuous efforts to place the suspects before the courts.”
