Two men have been arrested after video footage went viral on social media which appeared to show a woman’s drink being spiked at a nightclub in Bristol.

The two 18-year-olds, who are both from Gloucestershire, have been arrested on suspicion of administering a noxious substance.

Police said it follows the posting of a video on social media which appeared to show “something being dropped” into a woman’s drink.

In a statement, Avon and Somerset Police said: “Enquiries into this incident are ongoing. We’d like to hear from anyone else with information which could help.”

The force added spiking someone’s drink without their knowledge or permission is a “serious offence”.

“The same applies if you’re with someone and believe their drink has been tampered with.”
