Man dies from 'unsurvivable' injuries after being found in street
Police have arrested seven men, and launched a murder inquiry, after the death of a man who was found with "unsurvivable" injuries in Bristol.
Avon and Somerset Police said they encountered a group of men - some of whom were suspected of being in possession of bladed weapons - in Stapleton Road at around 10.45pm on Monday. Seven men, aged between 18 and 29, were searched and arrested after being pursued on foot in and around Trinity Walk and George Jones Park.
The seriously injured man, in his forties, was found nearby at around 10.55pm on Stapleton Road. He was taken to hospital for treatment, but died on Tuesday morning.
Police said his injuries were "unsurvivable". A forensic post-mortem examination will now take place, as will the formal identification process.
All seven men in custody were rearrested on Tuesday on suspicion of murder. Police cordons remain in Stapleton Road and George Jones Park, while enquiries, including forensic work and CCTV checks, are carried out.
Superintendent Deepak Kenth said tracing the man's family was a priority, and that efforts to do so were ongoing.
