Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses after a man became aggressive and made threats on a bus travelling from Weston-super-Mare to Bristol.

It happened on the First Bus X1 service, which runs via Congresbury, at around 8.45am on Tuesday 13 October. The force issued its appeal on Monday 10 November (Avon and Somerset Police).

The force describes the man as:
