Four people have been arrested after opposing football fans trashed a popular Bedminster pub.

Police officers were called to the Luckwell Hotel pub in Luckwell Road around 6.20pm on Saturday, December 1 following reports of a fight between two groups of people.

The crowds had dispersed by the time officers got to the scene but police are reviewing CCTV from the local areas.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police confirmed on Sunday morning four men who were staying in a hotel in Bristol have been arrested.

Dozens of fans from the Netherlands are thought to have travelled to Bristol this weekend ahead of Bristol City v Millwall at Ashton Gate, which kicks off at 1.30pm.

They said efforts to identify others who were involved in the fights are now ongoing, and they are speaking to residents in the area.

Anyone with mobile footage of the incident should get in touch with the police.

Superintendent Paul Mogg said: “We believe this incident involved a number of football fans who are planning to attend today’s Bristol City match against Millwall.

“Behaviour of this kind is completely unacceptable and has a significant impact on the local community.

“Fortunately, it does not appear anyone was seriously injured in the incident but the pub was significantly damaged.

“We’re working closely with Bristol City FC, as well as officers from the Metropolitan Police and colleagues from the Dutch police to apprehend those involved as we know a number of fans have travelled from Holland to watch the game.

“Some of those fans will now be sitting in police cells instead of watching the game and they, along with anyone else identified as taking part, can expect to be dealt with robustly.

“We will continue to have a visible presence in the area throughout today and will not tolerate any intimidating or violent conduct.”

The Luckwell was smashed up, with most of its windows broken and tables and chairs left in a mess.

It reopened last night, with landlord Alan Jones thanking residents and supporters for their help cleaning up the pub.
