Detective inspector Mark Newbury, of Bristol CID, said: “We’re currently treating this as an isolated offence. We know this nasty assault was witnessed by a large number of people who were on the Harbourside at the time, so we’d like anyone with mobile phone footage of the incident to get in touch, as it’ll assist with our ongoing investigation.

“We’d also like to speak to anyone who witnessed what happened, who hasn’t already spoken to the police.”
