One person was arrested after an incident in Bristol on Saturday 12 November and we’re hoping the public can help us with our enquiries.
A policing operation was being carried out ahead of Bristol City’s home match against Watford when there was an altercation involving a number of people in Ashton Road at about 2.50pm.
Police intervened but in the process a man knocked an officer to the ground. The officer sustained minor injuries but remained on duty.
We’re particularly keen to hear from a potential witness who helped the officer to their feet.
An 18-year-old man, from Hertfordshire, was arrested. He has since been released on conditional bail.
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to please call 101 and give the call-handler reference number 5222272690.
