British\u00a0police\u00a0have\u00a0launched a\u00a0manhunt\u00a0after\u00a0two\u00a0suitcases containing\u00a0human\u00a0remains\u00a0were discovered\u00a0on\u00a0Clifton Suspension\u00a0Bridge in the southwestern city of Bristol.<\/p>\n

Avon and Somerset Police said on Thursday that it received a call at 11:57 p.m. local time the day before about a man with a\u00a0suitcase\u00a0\u201cacting suspiciously\u201d\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0bridge. By the time officers appeared, the man had disappeared, but two\u00a0suitcases containing\u00a0human\u00a0remains\u00a0were\u00a0found, the force added.<\/p>\n

Police\u00a0have not yet identified the man or the deceased, though\u00a0initial inquiries have\u00a0found\u00a0that the man took a taxi to the\u00a0bridge. A large-scale search was carried out over several hours involving the police helicopter and coastguard, but the man was not located, police said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They later released a photo of a man they wanted to speak to in connection with their investigation. \u201cHe is described as Black with a beard. He was wearing a black Adidas baseball cap, black jeans, a black jacket, black trainers with thick white soles and had a black backpack,\u201d Avon and Somerset Police said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The police said they could not confirm whether the remains were of more than one person and a post-mortem examination was set to take place on Thursday, according to Britain\u2019s PA Media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, we\u2019re not aware of any current risk to the wider public,\u201d the police said. It also said high-visibility patrols are being carried out in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur immediate priority is to locate the man who took the\u00a0suitcases to the\u00a0bridge, identify the deceased, and\u00a0inform their next of kin,\u201d the\u00a0police\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

The Clifton Suspension Bridge visitor center was closed on Thursday due to the police activity, the PA reported.<\/p>\n

Local lawmaker Carla Denyer said she was \u201cdeeply disturbed by the horrifying discovery\u201d of human remains at the bridge. \u201cDistressing events like this are unsettling for all of us who call Bristol home and are proud\u00a0of\u00a0our\u00a0city,\u201d the Green Party MP for\u00a0Bristol Central said on X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
