Half a dozen men have been arrested following an attack in Bristol which saw a person rushed to hospital.
Emergency services attended Stapleton Road in Easton at around 2.10pm yesterday (October 22) following reports of an assault.
Police have now clarified that a total of six men were arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent.
In a statement yesterday, the police said one man and one woman had been arrested, but today a spokesman explained that a woman was not in fact in custody.
The six men are still being questioned, with no charges having been made.
The attack, which left a person with head and neck injuries, happened near Stapleton Road’s junction with Robert Street.
The route was partially blocked while crews helped the victim, with a diversion in place for a number of bus services.
A police spokesman said yesterday’s inaccurate statement was the result of an error in the log.
