POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an altercation between two men in Keynsham.

The incident happened at around 2.45pm in Ashton Way on Sunday January 25.

Two men, in their late teens, have been arrested on suspicion of affray, possession of an offensive weapon, and possession with intent to supply. They have since been released on bail.

CCTV enquiries have been carried out and properties searched, but police want to speak to members of the public who were in the area at the time of the incident who may have information that could help the investigation.

A small, white Citroen vehicle was also reportedly seen in the area at the time.

Neighbourhood inspector Dudley Bond said: “We appreciate that incidents of this nature can cause concern within the community. However, based on the information currently available, we believe those involved are known to one another, and we do not consider there to be any wider risk to the public.

“We are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the individuals previously described, as we believe they may have information that could support and progress the investigation.”

Anybody with information is asked to call the police on 101 quoting reference number 5226022403 or complete the online appeals form.
