Police search teams and helicopters scoured east Bristol on Friday night to find an offender who stabbed a man to death on a busy road.
A murder investigation has been launched after a man was stabbed to death in Bristol on Friday evening. The victim, who has not been named, was attacked by a man at around 5.45pm on the busy Stapleton Road. Police officers began administering first aid before paramedics arrived at the scene. He was then transported to Southmead Hospital but pronounced dead later that evening.
'A large amount of CCTV has already been reviewed to further our understanding of what happened and those efforts are continuing today,' said Bristol Commander Superintendent Mark Runacres. Parts of the road are still closed and police said they will maintain an 'increased presence' in the area 'not because we're aware of any increased risk, but because we want to make sure you can approach us to raise any concerns'.
