Scaffolding stand-off ends in arrest for assault and violence to secure entry

Officers were called to Milton Brow, in Weston-super-Mare, this week (Wednesday 17 June) following initial reports of an altercation between two men.

A spokesperson for Avon & Somerset Police said;

"Upon attendance, one man was located on a scaffolding structure while the other spoke with officers. Neither made any reports to officers about an assault.

"The man on the scaffolding, in his thirties, came down and was arrested on suspicion of two counts of assault and one count of violence to secure entry following an earlier unrelated incident in the nearby Upper Bristol Road.

"He remains in police custody and enquiries are ongoing."
