A 16-year-old boy has died after being stabbed by two people wearing masks in Bristol last night.

Medics tried to save the teenager, but he was pronounced dead in the St Philips area of the city on Wednesday evening.

The boy was attacked by two people wearing masks who then fled on bicycles, Avon and Somerset Police said.

The killing comes weeks after the deaths of Mason Rist, 15, and Max Dixon, 16, who were stabbed in the Knowle West area of the city.

Bristol Commander Superintendent Mark Runacres said: “Tragically, we have lost another young life from our city in utterly horrific circumstances.”
