A man suffered two fractures to his leg after being assaulted in a Bristol park. He challenged two unknown men who were mistreating their dog before they tripped him and left him on the floor.

Avon and Somerset Police say the assault took place in St Georges Park at around 2.45pm on Thursday, May 18. They are now appealing to the public for information.

The two suspects are described by police as "black and both with short, black braids". They had a boxer/Staffordshire bull terrier-type dog that had a red/brown coat.
