Rawnsley park...

I guess stabbing/shooting someone 100m away on Easton rd is no longer in vogue.
- Rawnsley park is pretty sketchy at night but it's not the most dodgy park in the area. There's a lot of dealing goes on there, I'm assuming this stabbing is related.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Avon and Somerset Police said it happened in the St Philips area on Wednesday and that the attackers wore masks.

After being attacked in Rawnsley Park, the teenager ran to Stapleton Road - where a driver helped him - before he collapsed on West Street.

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

"Our thoughts are with the victim's family at what will be an unimaginably difficult time and officers will continue to support them.
