Multiple people stabbed after fight outside Clifton nightclub
At least four men were stabbed in Clifton on Sunday morning, with nine arrests made so far.
Police forensics teams were at the scene on Queen’s Avenue near the Triangle, with a cordon in place centred around Pam Pam – a nightclub within a building owned by the University of Bristol.
The club was holding a Halloween event called Glitz Glam & Gore on Saturday night.

A silver BMW still remained partly on the road soon before midday on Sunday, facing towards Two Ways cafe.
Dressed in white suits, police forensics officers appeared to be focusing much of their attention on the doorway to Pam Pam, with yellow evidence markers able to be seen on the road including one next to the car.
A blue tent on Queen’s Avenue is not part of the police investigation, with the cordon stretching from Queen’s Road between Beacon House and Caffe Nero up to Elmdale Road.
In a statement on Sunday, Avon & Somerset police said: “Nine people have been arrested following significant disorder in the Clifton area of Bristol today.
