A teenager suffered serious injuries in an attack in Brislington last night. A police cordon was put in place outside Lindo Guitars on Broomhill Road.
Avon and Somerset Police said the victim, aged 16 and from Bath, was assaulted by a group of people near Corston Post Office and village store at about 10.30pm.
