       A second teenager has been arrested in relation to a knife attack in
       Bristol city centre which left a 13-year-old boy seriously injured.
       Police officers arrested a 13-year-old boy this morning and have since
       reported that a 14-year-old suspect has also been arrested.
        
       The 14-year-old boy is being held on suspicion of causing grievous
       bodily harm with intent, affray, and possession of a knife or blade in
       a public place. The 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of
       causing actual bodily harm and violent disorder.
        
       The arrests follow an incident near the junction of The Horsefair,
       Hanover Court and Concorde Street, close to McDonald's and near Cabot
       Circus. It happened at around 7.40pm on Thursday, June 27. Both the
       teenagers who have been arrested are currently on conditional bail
       pending further enquiries.
