A violent assault left two men hospitalised after Bristol City’s home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, April 8.

Police and ambulance crews were called to the incident outside the Spotted Cow on North Street shortly after 6pm, following a home win at nearby Ashton Gate earlier in the afternoon.
