Firework and brick attacks at Bristol Chinese restaurant

Police have released CCTV images in connection with firework and brick attacks on a Bristol Chinese restaurant.

The firework incident - which saw a lit pyrotechnic thrown inside before it exploded - happened a day after a group of men threw a brick at the window of the same restaurant in Bedminster, causing significant damage.

Avon and Somerset Police has now released CCTV images of a number of men they are keen to speak to in connection with these incidents.

No-one was injured in either incident, which occurred on October 26 and October 27.
