"This was a truly horrific incident which has left a young man with significant and lasting injuries. Not only is there a substantial physical impact, but these two men were also subjected to the most vile and completely intolerable racist abuse. We're now working to identify the men involved and would urge anyone who has any information at all to come forward and speak to us."
"The incident which is being treated as a hate crime took place in Sarah Street in the Lawrence Hill area of Bristol at about 7.35pm on Monday (22 September). The two victims were initially involved in a crash in which their car collided with a lamppost. They were then racially abused and assaulted by a group of four men who left the area in a white van."
"Officers have been conducting CCTV and house-to-house enquiries in the area and earlier today arrested a man on suspicion of racially/religiously aggravated grievous bodily harm. He remains in police custody while our investigation continues. One of the victims sustained significant facial and internal injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged to continue his recovery at home and support is in place. The second victim was also racially abused by the men but fortunately did not sustain any serious injuries."
