Two youths stabbed after disorder in car park of Keynsham pub

Police are investigating a disorder in which two youths were stabbed in the car park of a Keynsham pub.

Officers from Avon and Somerset Constabulary were called to The Crown Inn pub on Bristol Road around 4.40pm yesterday (Dec 19), following a disturbance involving a number of people.

Two youths aged 15 and 16 sustained stab wounds and remained in hospital overnight.

Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Both were arrested.

The incident occurred outside and there are no reports of any trouble having happened inside the pub.

Detective Inspector Will Thorpe said: “Our investigation is at an early stage and we’re really keen to hear from anyone who was at the pub, or in the area, yesterday afternoon and may have seen people involved in this disorder.

“We’d like to reassure members of the public our neighbourhood team is fully aware of what happened and officers will be conducting additional patrols in the area as a precautionary measure.”

Witnesses should call 101 and give the call-handler reference number 5220284170.
