A man required surgery after being struck with a glass bottle near Temple Meads Railway Station. The bottle struck the victim in the face, fracturing a facial bone and causing cuts and bruising.
Avon and Somerset Police is now appealing for the public's help following the assault. Investigating officers have released CCTV images of two people they would like to identify as they believe the duo have information that could help with the case.
The alleged assault happened at a bus stop outside Temple Meads at around 1.30am on September 19 last year. Two teenagers forced open a bin containing glass bottles and began throwing them at the man.
