Police have released images of three men they want to speak to following disorder in Bristol.

Officers have arrested 31 people and charged 18 in connection with the unrest on 3 August. Eight people have also been jailed.

Det Ch Insp Clement Goodwin of Avon and Somerset Police said detectives were continuing to scour videos of the incident.

"Hundreds of hours of footage, including body-worn and drone video, has already been reviewed and we are keen to speak to these people as our investigation continues," he said.

"We're continuing to review all the footage from that night as we work to identify those responsible for the criminality we saw on that day," he added.

Hundreds of far-right protesters - and a counter group - gathered for two demonstrations near Castle Park on 3 August.

Police called the violence that broke out absolutely outrageous.

The force said several people had already been identified following previous appeals.

Anyone who recognises any of the men in the images is asked to contact Avon and Somerset Police or Crimestoppers, which can be done anonymously.
