Police in Bristol say they have made "clear progress" as they continue to investigate violent scenes in in Bristol city centre at the weekend, and have confirmed that no officers broke any limbs.
On Sunday night, a police station was attacked, officers were injured and a van was set alight by violent thugs.
Two further people, a 20-year-old man and a man refusing to provide details, have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and are in custody. This brings the total number of arrests so far to nine.
Avon and Somerset Police said they are now investigating assaults on 40 officers and one member of the media.
They added that following a full medical assessment of the two officers taken to hospital, neither were found to have suffered confirmed broken bones.
Chief Superintendent Carolyn Belafonte said: “As we said from the outset, this will be a substantial investigation which has the potential to be one of the largest in our history.
“The fact we’re investigating 40 assaults on officers and a member of the media as the result of one incident shows the scale of wanton disorder which took place that night.
“Through painstaking work to examine more than two terabytes worth of digital footage, we believe we're making clear progress to identify those responsible and anticipate further images will be released soon.
“One of the people we believe we’ve already identified is a suspect in the fire which destroyed a mobile community police station.
“We’d like to thank every member of the public who’s got in touch to provide footage, information or to pass on their well-wishes and kind thoughts.”
