A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a 25-year-old man in Bristol, police have said.
Avon and Somerset police arrested a 32-year-old man in the Eastville area of the city at about 5.45pm on Saturday. He remains in custody.
The victim, who has not been named by police, was stabbed at about 5.40pm on Stapleton Road on Friday.
Avon and Somerset police officers in the area began administering first aid and called for backup.
The man received critical care from paramedics at the scene before being taken to Southmead hospital. He was pronounced dead later that evening.
Formal identification needs to be completed, and police said they were working to inform his family as soon as possible.
A murder investigation was launched and extensive searches of the east Bristol area were carried out on Friday night to locate the offender, with assistance from the National Police Air Service.
Police have also arrested two women, aged 36 and 47, on suspicion of assisting an offender. They both remain in custody.
A man who was arrested on suspicion of the same offence on Friday has been released with no further action.
Det Insp Mark Newbury, the senior investigating officer, said: “The arrest of a man this afternoon on suspicion of murder marks a significant development in our investigation.
“He is in custody and will be interviewed by detectives from our major crime investigation team in due course.
“We are in contact with close friends of the man who died and have updated them this evening of this news and continue to offer them support.
“Stapleton Road was reopened this afternoon following the conclusion of our inquiries at the scene and we are grateful for the public’s understanding while that necessary work was undertaken.”
Supt Mark Runacres said earlier on Saturday: “There is no place for violence on Bristol’s streets and we are committed to working with partners around this issue.
“We want the community to understand that we are here to help them.
“We understand such tragic news is hugely distressing and therefore there will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days with more patrols carried out, not because we’re aware of any increased risk, but because we want to make sure you can approach us to raise any concerns.
“Stapleton Road is a busy place at the best of times, especially early on a Friday evening.
“We are grateful to those people who have already spoken to police and told us what they saw and we’d urge anyone else with information to please contact us as soon as possible.”
