Disorder in Cardiff before Bristol game

There have been clashes involving football fans in Cardiff prior to Saturday’s match with Bristol City.

Mounted police and specialist public order-trained police officers were involved after disorder near the junction of St Mary Street and Wood Street.

South Wales Police said it was “aware of some incidents of disorder”.

“A derby fixture such as this always comes with a highly charged atmosphere,” it said, in a statement.

“Unfortunately, there will always be a minority that will seek to engage in disorder but officers are responding quickly to stop any such incidents.

“A policing operation is in place to ensure both sets of supporters can leave the stadium safely following the match.”
