Witness appeal after man made threats on bus

We are appealing for witnesses following an incident in which a man became aggressive before making threats on a bus travelling to Bristol.

The incident happened on the First Bus X1 service from Weston-super-Mare to Bristol, via Congresbury, at around 8.45am on Tuesday 13 October.

The offender has been described as white, of slim build, with brown hair in a buzz-cut style, stubble, who was wearing tracksuit bottoms with a grey zip-up rain jacket.

We have carried out a number of enquiries, including a trawl of CCTV and a witness statement has been taken, but we are now appealing for anybody who may have information which could assist our enquiries to come forward.

A man, in his forties, has been arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill in relation to the incident and has been released on conditional bail while enquiries continue.

Anybody with information which could assist our enquiries are asked to call us on 101 quoting reference 5226336106 or complete our online appeals form.
