Bristol: Teenager dies in hospital after being found injured

Police remain on the scene in the St Pauls area of Bristol

A man in his late teens has died after being found injured in Bristol.

The man, believed to be from the city, was found in Grosvenor Road in St Pauls at just after 23:00 BST on Friday and died in hospital.

Another man, also in his late teens, was arrested and police said they believe other people were involved.

Avon and Somerset Police said, while no formal identification had taken place, the victim's immediate family was aware and had their "deepest" sympathies.

Insp Chris Starr from the Bristol neighbourhood policing team said they were anticipating making more arrests.

"A young man has been arrested who is in his late teens and from the Bristol area, its not clear yet what his involvement in the matter might have been," he said.

"It was still relatively early in the evening, so we would anticipate there would be a large number of people in the area.

"We're asking for anyone with any information to get in touch, any dashcam footage or ring doorbell footage to get in touch."
