Cars damaged by vandal with knife - man arrested and accused of racist offence

A man has been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated offence after a number of cars were damaged.

Officers received reports at about 11pm on Friday (August 7) of a man with a knife damaging vehicles in Charlton Road and Launceston Road, in Kingswood.

A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, possession of a bladed article in a public place and a verbal racially-aggravated public order offence.

Avon and Somerset Police has been investigating.

A force spokesperson said: "We’re keen for anyone else whose vehicle was damaged to report it to us, if they have not already done so.

"Witnesses, or affected motorists who have yet to report the damage, are asked to contact us here or call 101 and give reference number 5220177759."
