Avon & Somerset have confirmed that a total of 40 officers were injured during the riot that took place outside Bridewell Police Station over the weekend. 

This figure is up from the initial figure of 22 officers being injured.

Person N. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

A spokesperson for the force also confirmed that one member of the media was also injured during the disorder. 

Yesterday, 23rd March, investigators released the first batch of images concerning the individuals who detectives now want to identify and speak to following the incident.

Person K. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

At least three police vehicles were torched during the riot, and Bridewell Police Station was badly damaged as rioters threw missiles at the building. 

During the riot, one individual tried to set fire to a police van as the officers inside attempted to vacate the area after rioters set fire to another unoccupied police vehicle.

Person J. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

The force also confirmed today (23rd March) that another two people have been arrested as part of the investigation. 

Since launching a dedicated form for members of the public to supply footage or give information about those involved, Avon & Somerset Police have had 210 submissions and a further 68 calls to their control room.

Person H. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

Ch Supt Carolyn Belafonte, who appealed BBC’s Crimewatch Roadshow this morning, said: 

“As we said from the outset, this will be a substantial investigation which has the potential to be one of the largest in our history.

Person D. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

“The fact we’re investigating 40 assaults on officers and a member of the media as the result of one incident shows the scale of wanton disorder which took place that night.  

“Through painstaking work to examine more than two terabytes worth of digital footage, we believe we’re making clear progress to identify those responsible and anticipate further images will be released soon to the online gallery we’ve set up.

Person C. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

“One of the people we believe we’ve already identified is a suspect in the fire which destroyed a mobile community police station.

“We’d like to thank every member of the public who’s got in touch to provide footage, information or to pass on their well-wishes and kind thoughts.”

Person A. Do you know who this person is? Call 101 and ask to speak to someone from Avon & Somerset Police. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

Anyone who has information which can help Avon & Somerset Police to identify any of the people in the images which have thus far been released, is asked to call 101.

You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their Anonymous Online Form.

No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded and you will not go to court or have to speak to police when contacting Crimestoppers.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
