Is there a riot in the St. Pauls area of Bristol?

Somthing is up in St.Pauls, there is a lot of police around (I mean you never see them normally!). A local shopkeeper had said that local youths were rioting in Ashley Road, but the far end seemed quiet.

There certainly is a large police presence, with mobile units witing on Ashley Hill and police on foot at the Ashley Hill/Ashley road junction and a chopper overhead.

There were also 3 riot vans in the town centre.
