Police have arrested a teenage boy on suspicion of attempted murder following reports of a stabbing near the Cribbs Causeway shopping centre.
Witnesses took to social media to claim that a “very large police presence” was in the area of the Vue cinema at Cribbs Causeway “by the drive thrus”.
The police said emergency services were called to an underpass which runs between The Mall and The Venue shortly before 6pm this evening. One teenage boy was taken to hospital for emergency treatment and police said they had recovered a weapon from the scene.
Police confirmed that one boy was arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article and attempted murder. He remains in custody at this time.
In a statement, an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: “While it’s not believed there is any wider risk to the public, the injured person and the suspect were part of a larger group of young people who ran from the scene.
“We’re keen to identify any of those individuals, described as being in their mid-teens and mostly wearing black.”
Investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or has any relevant dashcam or other footage which could help their investigation.
