Boy stabbed in South Bristol - Shop cordoned off

A 16-year-old boy was stabbed in a Totterdown shop this evening (April 18).

Police are appealing for witnesses to the serious attack, which happened at around 5.40pm inside Patco Food and Wine on Wells Road.

An Avon and Somerset police spokesman said: "The offenders, described as two males wearing masks and hooded tops, made off from the scene in the direction of St John’s Lane and remain outstanding. A search for them is ongoing.

"The victim has been taken to hospital where he continues to receive treatment. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

"A cordon is in place at the shop and enquiries continue. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call 101 and tell the call handler you’re phoning in relation to log 856 today.

"We’d also be keen to hear from anyone who was driving along Wells Road or St John’s Lane around the time of the incident and who has Dash Cam.

"If you can help, please call 101 quoting the same reference."
