Avon and Somerset Police have reissued an appeal to find the perpetrator of a violent and "unprovoked" attack on a young man and a woman in Bristol last month. The assault in the Redland area of the city took place May 5, at sometime between 4.30am and 6am.
The pair, both in their 20s, were walking home on Redland Road when they were approached by an unknown male, who tried to rob them. In the original appeal, the date for the assault was given as May 8, but an update from the force said it took place on May 5.
The unknown man's attempt to steal a wallet was unsuccessful, though he managed to steal a Santa Cruz hat and a grey Nike bag before fleeing in the direction of Zetland Road. The male victim was left with bruising and a split lip in the Redland robbery, in what police called an "unprovoked attack".
