As well as the police investigation, the ECB will complete its own inquiry into Stokes' behaviour before deciding whether he can play any part in the Ashes series.
"What happened was wrong, there's no question about that," said Harrison on Tuesday.
"You don't want to see your sport in that position and there are consequences of that. We're in a holding pattern at the minute.
"There's a process with the police and then a disciplinary process. As you'll appreciate, these things take time and that's the pattern we're in at the moment."
Stokes and Alex Hales, who was also involved in the Bristol incident, have been suspended until further notice.
England coach Trevor Bayliss says he plans to be without Stokes for the entire Ashes series, while director of England cricket Andrew Strauss admitted on Monday his absence was a "blow".
